ORDER PER AMIT SHUKLA, J.M.: The aforesaid appeal has been filed by the Assessee against the impugned order dated 20.10.2016, passed by Ld. Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals)-IV, Kanpur for the quantum of assessment passed u/s.143(3)/153A for the Assessment Year 2009-10. In the grounds of appeal, the assessee has challenged taxation of Long Term Capital Gain, which has been enhanced by the Ld. CIT(A) to ₹ 64,07,515/- in place of ₹ 30,17,456/- on account of investment made in purchase of new residential house as provided u/s. 54F(1)(a). 2. At the outset, ld. counsel for the assessee submitted that here in this case, original assessment was completed u/s.143 (3) by determining the total income of ₹ 38,35,743 .....

The capital gain on the sale of the property was claimed as exempt by the assessee in view of the provisions contained in Section 54F(1)(b) of the Act. The Assessing Officer while not disputing the claim of the assessee for exemption u/s 54F(1)(b) of the Act in respect of investment of long term capital gain has calculated and worked out the addition of ₹ 30,17,456/- to the income as per working considering the full value of consideration as per Section 50C while determining exemption. The assessee filed appeal before the CIT(A), Ghaziabad. The Ld. AR further submitted that pending the disposal of the appeal filed before the CIT(A), Ghaziabad, a search was co .....

The investment made in the purchase of new residential house, the essential criteria for allowing benefit of deduction u/s 54F(1)(b) of the Act was ignored. The Ld. AR submitted that Section 54F clearly states that if the cost of new asset is less than the net consideration in respect of the asset transferred, so much of the capital gain as bears to the whole of the capital gain, the same proportion as the cost of the new asset bears to the net consideration, shall not be charged u/s 54F. Nowhere does it mention consideration as per section 50C. The fiction u/s 50C is extended only to the aspect of computation of capital gains and the same does not extend to the charging section or the exemptions to the charging section. T .....

We have heard both the parties and perused all the relevant materials available on records. It is pertinent to note that the Assessing Officer admitted the claim of the assessee for exemption u/s 54F(1)(b) in respect of investment on long term capital gain but instead of taking actual sale consideration received, has adopted the figure of sale consideration by invoking Section 50C. This is not in accordance with the provision of Section 50C which has created a deeming fiction. Section 54F is an exemption provision and it has given its applicability in itself, therefore, Section 50C will not come under picture. The Long Term Capital Gain exemption is admissible u/s 5 .....
