.... date of filing of return income for the assessment year consideration. Thus according to the AO, the deduction u/s 54B of the Act of Rs.12,87,500/- was not allowed as the assessee purchased the immovable property before the due date of filing of return of income or the amount of capital gain account should be deposited in capital gain account scheme where the assessee failed to follow the relevant concerned terms and conditions for deduction u/s 54B of the Act. Therefore, the AO did not allow deduction u/s 54B of the Act to the assesse. Thus after considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the income of the assessee is calculated by the AO as under:- 1. Income as per return not filed Rs.Nil 2.

Hence the LTCG on the entire lands comes only of Rs.42,70,000/- for all the assessee's as against Rs.1,47,02,240/-. We have failed to understand that how the DLC rate has been adopted by the Sub Registrar Palsana Sikar. It may be that he has adopted the rate for the land situated at Road while the land of the assessee's were situated 200 meter inside the road or after leaving the one khasara from the road. And the rate for the land situated inside the road or after the one khasara from the road is only of for irrigated land was Rs. 3,94,500/- per bhiga and for unirrigated land was of Rs. 2,81,900/- per bhiga in the year 2009-10.

Hence, for the meaning of full value of consideration as mentioned in different provisions of the Act except in s. 48, one will have to consider the full value of consideration as specified in sale deed.-CIT vs. Smt. Nilofer I. Singh (2009) 221 CTR (Del) 277 : (2008) 14 DTR (Del) 108 : (2009) 309 ITR 233 (Del) relied on. In Explanation to s. 54F(1), it is mentioned that net consideration means the full value of consideration received or accruing as a result of the transfer of the capital asset as reduced by any expenditure incurred wholly and exclusively in connection with such transfer. The meaning of full value of consideration in Explanation to s. 54F(1) will not be governed by meaning of words 'full value of consideration' as mentioned in s. 50C. The value adopted for stamp duty is to be considered as full value of consideration for the purpose of computing the capital gains under s. 48. Sec. 54F(1) says that capital gains is to be dealt with in accordance with the provisions of sub-cls. (a) and (b) of s. 54F(1). In the instant case, the....

....sideration has been invested in the capital gains accounts scheme for purchase of the new house property which is again not been disputed by the Revenue. The consideration as determined under section 50C based on the stamp duty authority valuation is not a consideration which has been received by or has accrued to the assessee. Rather, it is a value which has been deemed as full value of consideration for the limited purposes of determining the income chargeable as capital gains under section 48 of the Act. Therefore, in the instant case, the provisions of section 54F(1)(a) are complied with by the assessee and the assessee shall be eligible for deduction in respect of the whole of the capital gains so computed under section 45 read with section 48 and section 50C of the Act. The decisions of the Coordinate Benches as referred supra support the case of the assessee. The subject issue was not for consideration before the Hon'ble Karnataka High Court and hence, the same doesn't support the case of the revenue. We are therefore of the considered view that the provision of section 50C(1) of the Act are not applicable to section 54F for the purpose of determining the meaning of ....

It is noticed that the CIT(A) confirmed the addition on a couple of reasons, namely (a) the provisions of section 54F(1) does not permit invoking of the provisions of section 50C of the Act. Therefore, 'net consideration'/full value consideration should be as per the sale deed figures and not as per the deemed full value consideration figures; and (b) the assessee is new asset includes only the Ground plus 1st floor only and not in respect of two floors (sic). Further, CIT(A) has not discussed the provisions of the clause (a) and (b) of section 54F(1) of the Act in his order. Actually, the assessee's house consists of Ground plus 4 floors. He relied on SB decision in the case of Sushila M Jhavari, supra and restricted the investment in first floor only and denied exemption in respect of the investment in other floors. Elaborate discussion on why such restriction was not given. Probably, CIT(A) is of the opinion that the Ground plus 1st floor is one house and other floors refers to other residential house. The said SB decision never disapproved the allowability of the investment of capital gains in a residential house, which may include ....

In view of the facts and circumstances of the case when the assessee has invested the amountwithin the stipulated period as prescribed under section 54F and in view of the various decisions cited supra, we decide this issue in favour of the assessee and hold that the assessee is eligible for deduction under section 54F in respect of the investment made in the house purchased on 13th October, 2014."

Notice for reopening of assessment was not in consonance and in conformity with under Section 147 and made specified notice vulnerable. High Court pointed that, reasons given by AO for issuance of notice for Re-assessment were not plausible and convincing. In fact order, where objections were rejected by AO, was not self-contained speaking order. Upon perusal of the order, it was amply clear that the same contains conclusions and is bereft of reasons.(para 12) Notices issued to Assessee by AO under Section 147/148 were not satisfying the pre-requisites for same. There was no whisper in the notice, or iota of proof that while issuing same. AO had reason to believe that any income chargeable to tax had escaped assessment for the assessment year. Notice issued by AO simply for his own verification and to clear his doubts and suspicions to re-examine the material which were already available on record at time of passing of t earlier assessment orders. The legislature under Section 147 has not clothed AO with such jurisdiction therefore the action could not be upheld in the background of facts of instant case. One mor....

....t. In any case this report could not be the basis for information of belief of the AO regarding escapement of income. There has to be nexus between formation of belief and escapement of income. In the present case, only valuation done by the stamp valuation authority and the Inspector's report have been taken as basis for formation of belief. There has to be reason for formation of belief and the reason should be such, from which prima facie it could be inferred that there is escapement of income. Every reason, if remotely connected with the issue, cannot be said to be a sufficient reason for formation of belief regarding escapement of income. There has to be live nexus between the reason and formation of belief regarding escapement of income. Merely because the stamp valuation authority has adopted certain valuation for payment of stamp duty, the same cannot be a basis to conclude regarding escapement of income in the hands of purchase, particularly when no tangible material has been brought on record to suggest the escapement of income except the Inspector's report which cannot be relied upon.-CIT vs. D.N.

Further only on the basis of information or AIR information no proceedings can be initiated. In the case of Smt. Usha Agrawal v/s ITO in ITA No. 260/Agra/2018 dt.11.09.2018 it has been held that " theAO based the reopening merely on the bare information received by him from the CBDT that the assessee had filed a declaration under the VDIS 1997, in which, he (sic-she) had declared an amount of Rs.10,02,948/- on 31.12.1997, but had not paid the tax thereon and the Certificate was not issued to him (sic-her). It was this bald so called information, which was reproduced by the AO in the reasons recorded and he, without any further inquiry thereon, i.e., without any independent application of his own mind to it, formed his alleged reason to believe escapement of income. The reopening is, thus liable to be set aside and reversed on this score alone. We hold so. The reopening of the assessee's completed assessment is cancelled on this count itself. And in the present case at the time of reaso....

(1) of s. 50C, it is clear that in case the consideration received is less than the value adopted by stamp valuation authority then the value so adopted is to be taken as full value of the consideration for the purposes of s 48. Sec. 50C provides a deeming provision for considering the full value of consideration as the value adopted for stamp duty. In modern statutes, the expression 'deem' is used a great deal and for many purposes. It is at times used to introduce artificial conceptions which are intended to go beyond legal principles or to give an artificial construction of a word for phrase. Thus the artificial meaning of full value of the consideration has been given in s. 50C for the purpose of s. 48. One is entitled to ascertain the purpose for creating a statutory fiction. After ascertaining the purpose, full effect must be given to the statutory fiction and it should be carried to its logical conclusion and to that end, it would be proper and even necessary to assume all those facts on which alone fiction can operate.

In the given facts of the instant case, no chargeable capital gains arises u/s 45 of the Act. Thus, in this case, with investment of Rs. 17.65.752/- in new asset, the cost of the new asset is not less than the net consideration (NC) in respect of the original asset. Of course, the 'net consideration has two variants depending on FVC adopted and in this case, the NCs are quantitatively lesser than the cost of the new asset leaving no chargeable capital gains u/s 45 of the Act. Therefore, the assessee is not chargeable to any capital gains considering the given facts of the case and also the said clause (a) of section 54F(1).
