We find that the CIT(A) has decided this issue in favour of the assessee by following the Tribunal decision in the case of Gyanchand Batra vs. Income Tax Officer [2010 (8) TMI 528 - ITAT JAIPUR ] We also find that it is specifically mentioned in section 50C(1) of the Act that the stamp duty value is to be considered as full value of consideration received or accruing as a result of transfer for the purpose of section 48 of the Act. It is true that the assessee is a charitable trust and the income of the assessee has to be computed u/s 11 of the Act. As per sub section (1A) of section 11 of the Act, if the net consideration for transfer of capital asset of a charitable trust is utilized for acquiring new capital a .....

We have considered the rival submissions. We find that this issue was decided by learned CIT(A) as per Para 4 to 4.5 of his order, which are reproduced below for the sake of ready reference: "4.

However, the Hon'ble ITAT in the case of Gyanchand Batra Vs ITO 115 DTK 45 (JPTrib.) has analysed the impugned legal aspect as under:- &q .....

..... a charitable trust and the income of the assessee has to be computed u/s 11 of the Act. As per sub section (1A) of section 11 of the Act, if the net consideration for transfer of capital asset of a charitable trust is utilized for acquiring new capital asset, then the whole of the capital gain is exempt. Considering all these facts, we do not find any reason to interfere in the order of CIT(A) on this issue. 6.3 Regarding the reliance placed by Learned D.R. of the Revenue on the judgment of Hon'ble Kerala High Court rendered in the case of Lissie Medical Institutions Vs Commissioner of Income-tax (supra), we find that in that case, it was held by Hon'ble Kerala High Court that claim of depreciation is not allowable on the assets w .....
