It is manifest from the above provision that it is a deeming provision in so far as the full value of consideration received as a result of transfer of some property, which is held otherwise than a capital asset, is concerned.

..... ot only no registered sale deed was executed by the assessee in favour of M/s Fulzan Properties, but even the possession was also not given to be enjoyed as an owner. There are two parts of the ultimate property, namely, the superstructure which is owned by the firm and the land beneath, which is owned by the assessee. In view of the fact that the assessee did not transfer the land to M/s. Fulzan Properties, we hold that the authorities below were not justified in treating it as a case of sale, being, transfer of land by the assessee to the firm. 8. At this juncture, it is significant to note the `Special provision for full value of consideration for transfer of assets other than capital assets in certain cases as containe .....
