..... indexed cost of construction of compound wall and the cost of improvements as the assessee is not entitled for the same. However, the Assessing Officer has allowed the assessee's claim basing only upon the payment receipts and contract agreement entered into with a mason namely Sri G. Narayana Rao. Hence the assessee's claim of indexed cost of improvements and indexed cost of construction of compound wall of ₹ 13,63,507/- is prima-facie not tenable on facts of the case. 3. For the foregoing reasons, the assessment order dt.23.02.2015 passed u/s.143(3) r.w.s. 147 of the Income Tax Act for Asst. Year 2010-11 is prima facie erroneous and prejudicial to the interest of the revenue and the same is proposed to be revised u/s.263 of the I.T. Act. 4. In the light of the above, you are hereby requested to show cause as to why the order u/s 143(3) r.w.s.147 of the I.T. Act, dated 23.02.2015 for the Asst. Year 2010-11 shall not be revised and the income recomputed and determined as per discussions made above.

..... , I have demolished compound wall and shed which were constructed on the said land for positive energy to perform the marriage of my only daughter. I totally went in a bad phase after my wife's death. I was totally in a financial crunch and also unable to perform my daughter's marriage. In an urgent need of funds for the purpose of my daughter's marriage and to clear the debts which were taken for the medical treatment of my wife, I sold the property in discussion relating to the said A.Y. for a thrown away price of ₹ 13,75,000/- only. Due to unforeseen situations, the sale of the sad land was made for a lower price. We are unable to find good price in the market as I was under pressure to perform my daughter's marriage. Hence, I have sold the said land for an amount lesser than the SRO value. During the assessment proceedings I have submitted necessary evidence for cost of improvements i.e., contract agreements and other evidences in support of my claim as deduction for determining the long term capital gains. Accordingly I have declared the long term capital gains and paid taxes. I had no intention of concealing the income particulars .....
