....adopted by the Assessing Officer at the time of assessment. 2. Briefly the facts are that during the year under consideration the assessee sold commercial plot no. 3, LIGH Scheme, Gumanpura, Kota for a sum of Rs. 70 lacs to M/s. PACL India Ltd., Jaipur as against the DLC value of Rs. 1,39,44,000/-. The assessee, however, took an objection before the Assessing Authority that the DLC value should not be applied and a reference be made under section 50C(2) of the I.T. Act for valuation of the property. Upon reference, he furnished Valuation Reports from two approved valuers before the DVO. One approved valuer Shri V. Padmanabhan has assessed the value of property of assessee at Rs. 71 lacs as per Valuation Certificate placed at paper book p....

....ion Officer for the purposes of computation of long term capital gains. The appellant had also filed a separate appeal challenging the valuation report and value arrived at by the DVO in terms of section 50C(2) of IT Act. His decision in paras 4.22 and 4.72 at internal pages 6, 11 & 12 in that appeal are reproduced as under :- " 4.22. I have gone through the valuation report of Shri V. Padmanabhan and Shri Govind Singh Bapna. Shri V. Padmanabhan started the valuation by taking basic rate of the plot at Rs. 2100/- per sq. ft. and deducted 20% for the effect of fly over and 10% for the effect of panic selling. He has not given any reason for taking the basic rate at Rs. 2100/-. Similarly, Shri Govind Singh Bafna has valued this plot at ....

....DLC value relates to all the plots situated on highway itself and this factor has no impact on the valuation of plots. Considering the above, in my view the DVO should have taken into account the following factors (which were considered by him while determining the value as on 01.04.1981):- 1) That the plot was open on two sides. 2) That the plot was a large size plot. The fair value of property is worked out as under (after considering these factors);- DLC rate as on 01.04.2006 = Rs. 2905 per sq. ft. Add 5% for 2 side open plot = Rs. 145.25 Rs. 3050.25 Less : 25% for 2 side open plot = Rs. 762.58 Rs. 2287.69 Say = Rs. 2290/- per sq. ft. The other points raised by the assessee do not have any bearing o....

....at Rs. 2905/- per sq. ft and valued the plot at Rs. 1,39,44,000/-. In the same valuation report the valuer had estimated the value of this plot as on 1.4.1987 at Rs. 9,98,400/- after allowing deduction of 25% on account of bigger size plot on the estimated fair market value of 277.45 per sq. ft. and thus worked out the final rate as on 1.4.1987 at Rs. 208/- per sq. ft as is apparent from assessee's paper book pages 34 and 38 forming part of the DVO's report. Neither the DVO nor the Assessing Officer allowed this rebate of 25% in the value adopted as on the date of sale though this fact was emerging from the same report of the DVO itself. The ld. CIT (A) considering this as an infirmity, corrected the rate to Rs. 2290/- per sq. ft. as agains....

....r, who is technical person, allow 20% deduction on the rate of Rs. 2905/- per sq. ft. adopted by the DVO and direct the Assessing Authority to correct the fair market value of the property under consideration accordingly. 5. The appellant has also raised the plea that it had to make a panic sale of its property as he had to repay loans taken from the bank. For making panic sale, the value of the property had depressed and for this factor the approved valuer has allowed a rebate of 10%. The authorities below, however, have not given report nor made any modification in the report of the DVO. Having considered the material, we find that the assessee has not laid any material on record to substantiate that there was such compulsion for makin....
