Transfer fee demand on leasehold land transfer by statutory corporation challenged; petition dismissed for fact suppression and inapplicable IBC Secti...
Interest received on enhanced compensation for compulsory acquisition of rural agricultural land, though described as interest under s.28 of the Land Acquisition Act, was held to be taxable as "Income from Other Sources" under s.56(2)(viii) and chargeable in the year of receipt under s.145B(1), rather than forming part of exempt compensation under s.10(37). The plea that such interest is inseparable from compensation and therefore exempt was rejected as contrary to the statutory scheme and the settled co-ordinate bench view in an identical fact pattern. Consequently, the addition was sustained and the appeal was dismissed. - ITAT
