....irmed vides an Agreement for Permanent Alternate Accommodation to be executed by us in your favor after receipt of Commencement Certificate and other requisite approvals, permissions and sanctions in respect of the New Building." 5. Against this allotment letter, assessee received the residential flat no. 1103 in the new building developed by the developer with the stamp duty value of Rs. 2,88,85,600/- under the registered agreement for Permanent Alternate Accommodation dated 21.09.2017 which is against the surrender of tenancy rights. In this agreement, the first name of the tenants is noted that of the assessee and second name is that of the daughter of the assessee. Since, the first name appears that of the assessee as tenants, ld. AO took the assessee as the first holder/owner of the impugned property for the purpose of making addition in his hands. Against this, assessee strongly contented that since the tenancy right was surrendered by the daughter of the assessee, the ownership of new flat given by the developer in lieu of surrender of tenancy right always belonged to and owned by the daughter and not the assessee. Name of the assessee was included in this agreement only fo....

....accepted that agreement for PAA is made between Sandu Developers and the assessee and not the daughter, then also, the capital gain so computed will be exempted in the hands of the assessee, since he has invested the full value of consideration (that is, the stamp duty value) in the PAA residential flat no.1103. 5.4. After considering the submissions made by the assessee and the remand report along with rejoinder, Ld. CIT(A) observed that assessee is not able to substantiate his claim that his name in the agreement for the flat has been incorporated only for security purposes. According to him, assessee is trying to create story to avoid tax liability and has not proven that ownership of the new flat is covered for exemption u/s. 54F of the Act. He further noted that, such a claim has not been made either by the assessee or by the daughter of the assessee in their returns. He thus, sustained the addition made by the Ld. AO and dismissed the appeal of the assessee. Aggrieved, assessee is in appeal before the Tribunal. 6. Before us, Ld. Counsel for the assessee reiterated the above stated facts. He further referred to the agreement for PAA to point out that both, the assessee and h....

....ng on the taxability in either hands. 7.1. Ld. AO has resorted to provisions of Section 56(2)(x)(b)(B) for the purpose of making addition in the hands of the assessee which is bad in law as it falls under the head "income from other sources". When income derived from different sources falling under a specific head has to be computed for the purpose of taxation in the manner provided by the appropriate section and no other. If the income from another source falls within a specific head, fact that it may indirectly be covered by another head will not make the income taxable under the later head. Section 56 provides for chargeability of income of every kind which is not chargeable to income-tax under any of the heads specified in section 14 items A,C,D and E. Therefore, if the income is included in any one of the heads i.e. under capital gain in the present case, it cannot be brought to tax under the residuary provisions of section 56 i.e. under the head income from other sources. For this, reliance was placed on the decision of Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of CIT vs. D.P. Sandu Bros. Chembur (P) limited [2005] 273 ITR 1(SC). 7.2. Per contra, Ld. Senior DR submitted that claim ....
