Pre-enactment land-sale agreements escape stamp-duty value substitution where substantial banking-channel consideration was received before Section 43...
Penalty for failure to obtain an audit report was deleted because the assessee had consistently treated sale of shops as giving rise to capital gains, and the characterisation of the activity as business or investment was a debatable issue. The Tribunal found that the transactions were identical to those in the preceding year, when penalty had already been cancelled, and there was no distinguishing feature to justify a different view.
