..... s of membership etc which were not given to the firm. Therefore, there is no transfer from husband to wife of any right or any value. In view of that no value can be assigned under Section 64(1) of the Act by applying clubbing provisions thereon. Moreover, we find that the ld CITA grossly erred in applying the clubbing provisions u/s 64(1) of the Act even for mother. Admittedly, as per law, the same could be applied only for spouse and for son s wife. Hence the addition sustained by the ld CIT(A) deserves to be deleted on this count itself. We find from the income tax returns of Smt. Krishna Ved and Smt Krupa Ved for the Asst Year 2015-16, which are forming part of the paper books filed before us, they had duly disclosed the capital gains attributable to their share without claiming any deduction towards cost of acquisition. We find from the computation of income for the Asst Year 2015-16 of both the ladies, that they were conscious of their income tax obligations and had duly disclosed the share of their sale consideration as long term capital gains (without any cost) and had duly claimed deduction u/s 54EC of the Act by making reinvestment in eligible bonds. We find that th .....

..... h) The membership rights of the Nutan Laxmi Co-operative Society are a valuable right and it enjoys all the facilities like membership of Juhu Vile Parle Gymkhana Cub etc and leasehold rights in plot. As per the bye laws of the society, only members of one family can become member of the society and all the rights in the society including leasehold plot remain in the hands of the said family. The other occupants of the flats viz. flat no.1 to 6 are not entitled to become a member of the society. These rights belonged to all the four members of Ved family. The facts have been clearly stated in Recital (j) on Page No. 8 of the agreement for sale and assignment dated 20.1.2015. Accordingly, Mrs. Krupa P. Ved and Mrs. Krishna P.

Krishna Ved and Smt Krupa Ved for the Asst Year 2015-16, which are forming part of the paper books filed before us, they had duly disclosed the capital gains attributable to their share without claiming any deduction towards cost of acquisition. We find from the computation of income for the Asst Year 2015-16 of both the ladies, that they were conscious of their income tax obligations and had duly disclosed the share of their sale consideration as long term capital gains (without any cost) and had duly claimed deduction u/s 54EC of the Act by making reinvestment in eligible bonds. We find that the ld AR submitted that the returns filed by two ladies have been accepted by the department. Hence there is no need to bring to tax the very same sale consideration in the hands of assessee herein, inclusion of which , would only result in double taxation. Hence we hold that the entire addition made in the sum of ₹ 44,63,434/- in the hands of the assessee is hereby directed to be deleted and grounds 1 2 raised by the assessee are all .....
