2016 (9) TMI 700 - HC - Income Tax


Issues:
1. Delay in re-filing the appeal
2. Allowance of deduction u/s 54F of the Income Tax Act, 1961
3. Exemption of investment made in residential house by the company

Analysis:
1. The judgment addresses the issue of condoning a delay of 980 days in re-filing the appeal. The Chief Justice, in an oral order, states that the delay is condoned based on the reasons presented in the application. The application is disposed of accordingly.

2. The appeal involves the first substantial question of law regarding the deduction under Section 54F of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The appellant contests the compliance with the requirement of depositing the amount before filing the return. The Tribunal found that the money was instructed to be transferred on time, and the delay in actual transfer was due to the bank's processing. Since no separate instructions were given the next day, the finding is upheld, and the appeal on this ground is dismissed.

3. The second substantial question pertains to the exemption of investment in a residential house by the company. The judgment clarifies that the investment was made by the company, not the assessee individually. The company had provided funds to the assessee for purchasing the property. Consequently, the appeal on this issue is also dismissed.

In conclusion, the High Court dismissed the appeal concerning the delay in re-filing, deduction u/s 54F, and exemption of investment in a residential house by the company. The judgment provides detailed reasoning for each issue, emphasizing compliance with legal provisions and factual findings.
