ITAT held that no "transfer" of capital asset occurred in AY 2015-16 under the sale agreements for three office properties, as only 5-13% of the agreed consideration was received and contractual conditions for transfer, including full payment and handing over of documents/possession, were not fulfilled.

Accordingly, the addition for capital gains in AY 2015-16 was deleted and the assessee's appeal was allowed.
