The Revenue has raised following grounds of appeal:- "1. The Order of the learned Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) is contrary to the Law and facts of the case. 2. The CIT(A) erred in deleting the addition made on Long Term Capital Gains for Rs. 3,64,11,990/- by holding that the calculation of net worth as claimed by the assessee in its computation is as per law. 3. The CIT(A) ought to have appreciated the fact that when the liabilities are with the assessee and not taken over by the buyer which is contradiction of explanation of 'net worth' as per provision of Sec. 50B of th .....

..... deration received from buyer of undertaking and also share application money and thus, both cannot be considered as liabilities for purpose of determination of net worth. The assessee also seeks to exclude deferred tax liability on the ground that it is only notional entry created in books of account on taxes payable by the entity/undertaking and thus, it cannot be considered as liability for computing net worth. The learned CIT(A), after considering relevant submissions of the assessee and also taken note of facts brought out by the Assessing Officer deleted additions made by the Assessing Officer towards recomputation of long term capital gain by holding that certain liabilities were not taken over by the buyer and further, major liabilit .....

..... f Rs. 69,01,185/-, ignoring substantial amount of liabilities of Rs. 9,83,54,127/-. Therefore, she argued that the learned CIT(A) has erred in deleting additions made towards short term capital gain, without appreciating proper facts and thus, order of the Assessing Officer should be upheld. 6. The learned A.R for the assessee, on the other hand, submitted that as has been explained before the authorities below, long term borrowings in earlier financial year includes share application money pending allotment, advance sale consideration received from prospective buyer of undertaking and thus, those two items have been rightly excluded for computation of net worth of undertaking, because both are not liabilities of the undertaking.

..... being share application money received pending allotment amounting to Rs. 3,12,55,200/- and sale consideration received for transfer of undertaking from prospective buyer of the undertaking amounting to Rs. 4,80,75,931/-. According to the assessee, share application money received pending allotment is not a liability, but shareholders funds and thus, cannot be considered as liability for computing net worth. We find substance in the arguments of the assessee for simple reason that share application money received pending allotment which was part of long term borrowings has been subsequently converted into equity share capital by allotment of shares aggregating to Rs. 3,12,55,200/-, which is evident from financial statements filed by the ass .....

..... cation money pending allotment is not liability for an undertaking for computing net worth for purpose of computation of capital gain in terms of section 50B of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Similarly, as regards deferred tax liability the learned CIT(A) has rightly appreciated arguments of the assessee in not considering deferred tax liability while computing net worth, because it is only notional entry for timing difference in taxes on income by the undertaking. Therefore, we are of the considered view that there is no error or infirmity in the reasoning given by the learned CIT(A) to delete additions made towards computation of short term capital gains on transfer of undertaking in terms of section 50B of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Hence, we .....
