Hence the additions so made by the Id. AO may kindly be quashed and delete. 3.1 Rs.18,22,250/- : The Id. CIT(A) has grossly erred in law as well as on the facts of the case in confirming the addition of Rs.18.22.250/- on account of Long Term Capital Gain on sale of sale of agriculture land which is otherwise exempt(being out of Municipal Limit applicable and not being a capital assets) and also erred in the action of the Id. AO in taking the higher value adopted by the Stamp Authority in place of actual sale consideration mentioned in sale deed and received by the assessee, while determining the LTCG. Hence the addition so made by the AO and confirmed by the Id. CIT(A) is being totally contrary to the provisions of law and facts on the record and hence the addition may kindly be deleted in full. 3.2 The Ld.

In the case of the assessee, the AO calculated the long term capital gain as under:- S.N. Particulars Cost of acquisition LTCG 1. Sale consideration 25,13,500/- 2. 3. Cost of property (assessee's share) a And Indexed cost of property 5,25,000/- (cost of property - 4,75,000/-& stamp duty -50,000/5,25,000x632/480 = 6,91,250 18,22,250/- Thus according to the AO, the long term capital comes to Rs.18,22,250/- and after proper verification of the above information from the record, the assessment proceedings u/s 147 of the Act for the assessment year under consideration was initiated by the AO after recording the reasons as well as taking prior approval of Pr. CIT-3, Jaipur vide her letter dated 17-03-2017. Thereafter, notice u/s 148 of the Act was issued on 17-03-2017 by the AO which was got served upon the assesee through Registered Post dated 20-03-2017 as well as physically on 30-03-2017. .....

Therefore, the AO did not allow deduction u/s 54B of the Act to the assesse. Thus after considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the income of the assessee is calculated by the AO as under:- 1. Income as per return not filed Rs.Nil 2.

CIT(A) both despite available before them. The correct facts of the case are that the group of assessee's jointly (seven persons, in the ratio of 1/8th Suji devi in 1/4th) had purchased the agriculture land measuring 5.93 Hectares situated at Khasra No. 5295 in Village Patwar area/land record Reengus Tehsil Srimadhopur District Sikar for Rs.38,00,000/- and registry cost of Rs.4,00,000/- totaling to Rs.42,00,000/- on dt. 11.02.2005. Thereafter they have sold this land in two part one part by Smt. Santosh Devi, Smt. Suji Devi and Smt. Meera Devi for Rs. 43,50,000/- on dt. 17.03.2010 and other part by Smt. Prem Devi w/o Rameshwar, Smt. Prem W Devi /o Ramji Lal, Smt. Narangi Devi and Smt. Bhagwati Devi for Rs.54,50,000/- on dt. 23.02.2010. While charging stamp duty the Sub Registrar Palsana has valued the property at Rs.1,01,78,240/- and 1,00,54,000/- respectively.

AO may kindly be obtained after getting full verification and examination of the issue, however he has failed to do so rather confirmed the addition which is against the principal of natural justice. 2.1 DLC Rate has been wrongly charged by the Stamp Authority: It is submitted that as per above para I, the DLC rate has wrongly been estimated by the Stamp Authority.

In Explanation to s. 54F(1), it is mentioned that net consideration means the full value of consideration received or accruing as a result of the transfer of the capital asset as reduced by any expenditure incurred wholly and exclusively in connection with such transfer. The meaning of full value of consideration in Explanation to s. 54F(1) will not be governed by meaning of words 'full value of consideration' as mentioned in s. 50C. The value adopted for stamp duty is to be considered as full value of consideration for the purpose of computing the capital gains under s. 48. Sec. 54F(1) says that capital gains is to be dealt with in accordance with the provisions of sub-cls. (a) and (b) of s. 54F(1). In the instant case, the cost of new asset is not less than the net consideration thus the whole of the capital gains will not be charged even if the capital gains has been computed by adopting the value adopted by stamp registration authority. It is clearly mentioned in s. 54F(4) also that net consideration which is not appropriated towards the purchase of new asset the same is to be taxed in case such net consideration not appropriated is not deposited in the cap .....

Therefore, in the instant case, the provisions of section 54F(1)(a) are complied with by the assessee and the assessee shall be eligible for deduction in respect of the whole of the capital gains so computed under section 45 read with section 48 and section 50C of the Act. The decisions of the Coordinate Benches as referred supra support the case of the assessee. The subject issue was not for consideration before the Hon'ble Karnataka High Court and hence, the same doesn't support the case of the revenue. We are therefore of the considered view that the provision of section 50C(1) of the Act are not applicable to section 54F for the purpose of determining the meaning of full value of consideration. The ratio of Gyan Chandra has also been followed by the Honble ITAT Mumbai Bench(D) In the case of Raj Babbar V/s ITO 56 SOT 01(Mum)(2013) where it has been held that It is a 2t suggest that there is nothing to bar benefits of exemption u/s 54F in respect of the capital gains relatable to the FVC as per the deemed fiction u/s 50C of the Act.

Further, CIT(A) has not discussed the provisions of the clause (a) and (b) of section 54F(1) of the Act in his order. Actually, the assessee's house consists of Ground plus 4 floors. He relied on SB decision in the case of Sushila M Jhavari, supra and restricted the investment in first floor only and denied exemption in respect of the investment in other floors. Elaborate discussion on why such restriction was not given. Probably, CIT(A) is of the opinion that the Ground plus 1st floor is one house and other floors refers to other residential house. The said SB decision never disapproved the allowability of the investment of capital gains in a residential house, which may include two flats with one kitchen and the same are functionally one dwelling unit, may located at two different floors, may be adjacent vertically and horizontally. CIT(A) has not appreciated the facts of the present case, where the assessee's house constructed include ground plus 4floors, where the Ground floor is a big living room, 1st floor: Kitchen plus 2 bed room; 2nd floor: three bed rooms; 3rd floor: three bed rooms and 4th floor: 3bed rooms.

Reason to believe and not reason to suspect: 2.1 It is submitted that even under the amended law by the finance act 1989 the condition precedent or words, which continues right since inception till date, are "reason to believe" and not "reason to suspect". The word "believe" has to be understood in contradistinction of suspicion or opinion. Belief indicates something concrete or reliable. Kindly refer Gangasharan & Sons Pvt. Ltd. 130 ITR 1 (SC), and ITO v. Lakhmani Mewal Das, (1976) 103 ITR 437 (SC). 2.2 The belief of the Officer should be as to escapement of income and the belief should not be a product of imagination or speculation. There must be reason to induce the belief. 2.3 Further, the belief must be of an honest and reasonable person based upon reasonable grounds. The officer may act on direct or circumstantial evidence; but his belief must not be based on mere suspicion, gossip or rumor.

AO had reason to believe that any income chargeable to tax had escaped assessment for the assessment year. Notice issued by AO simply for his own verification and to clear his doubts and suspicions to re-examine the material which were already available on record at time of passing of t earlier assessment orders. The legislature under Section 147 has not clothed AO with such jurisdiction therefore the action could not be upheld in the background of facts of instant case. One more redeeming fact which had direct nexus with the subsequent re-assessment proceedings and ramification of the same had culminated into re-assessment orders was the impugned order where AO rejected the objections submitted by Assessees pursuant to notice under Section 147/148. Order passed by AO in this behalf was not a speaking order which could not be sustained. In view of legal infirmity in the notice under Section 147/148 and laconic order of AO while rejecting objections Assessee the consequential assessment Orders were liable to be annulled.(para16) 4.

Merely because the stamp valuation authority has adopted certain valuation for payment of stamp duty, the same cannot be a basis to conclude regarding escapement of income in the hands of purchase, particularly when no tangible material has been brought on record to suggest the escapement of income except the Inspector's report which cannot be relied upon.-CIT vs. D.N. Pachori (2010) 189 Taxman 420 (MP) relied on. Recently the Honble ITAT Jaipur Bench Jaipur has followed the above decision in the case of Arun Kumar Choudhary V/s ITO in ITA No. 268/Jp/2015 dt. 08.09.2016 wherein in para 9 page 8 onward it has been held that "9.

The reopening is, thus liable to be set aside and reversed on this score alone. We hold so. The reopening of the assessee's completed assessment is cancelled on this count itself. And in the present case at the time of reasons even there was no sale deed in the hands of the ld. AO, there was only an information and information itself is not reason to believe Also refer CIT vs. Indo Arab Air Services (2016) 283 CTR 0092 (Del). 7. Hence in view of the above facts, circumstances and legal position the assessment proceedings may kindly be quashed. 8. Thus in view of the above submissions the Assessment order as well as notice U/s 148 may kindly be quashed and the addition so made may also kindly be deleted in full and oblige.'' 2.4 On the other hand, the ld. DR supported the order of the ld. CIT(A). 2.5 The Bench heard both the parties and perused the materials available on record. It emerges from the record that the assessee is a lady who has not file ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... ed or submitted anything in this regard. It is also pertinent to mention that the AO has also denied the claim of the assessee of deduction u/s 54B of the Act against the agriculture land situated at Village-Chirada, Patwar Halka-Khorashyamdas, Tehsil- Amer (Jaipur) was purchased by her alongwith other three partners from Shri Sita Ram S/o Shri Bhura, Caste-Gurjar, R/o Village-Chirada, Tehsil-Amer Jaipur at Rs.51,50,000/- on 11-10-2010 in which the share of the assessee is Rs.12,87,500/- (1/4th share of Rs.51,50,000/) by stating that the assessee purchased the above property after the due date of filing of return of income for the assessment year under consideration. Thus, the AO made the addition of Rs.18,22,250/- which has been confirmed by the ld. CIT(A). It is noted that the ld. AR of the assessee has not stated anything regarding the property being the capital asset and situated within the Municipal Limits. Hence, it is deemed that the property is a capital asset and chargeable to LTCG. Now the issue is that whether the assessee is eligible for deduction u/s 54B for purchase of land after due of filing of return and what amount is to be invested whether according to actual sal .....

Further the Co-ordinate Bench in the case of Jag Mohan Sharma (Deceased) Legal Heir Nitesh Sharma v/s ITO Ward 1(1), Jaipur in ITA No. 1089/Jp/2016 dt. 13.03.2018. Held as under 5. As regards the non deposit of the amount in the Capital Gain Account Scheme, we note that the assessee has sold the agricultural land on 30th November, 2012 and the house was purchased on 30.10.2014. Therefore, the investment made by the assessee is within two years from the sale of the existing asset and is not beyond the stipulated period as provided under section 54F of the Act. The only objection raised by the AO and Id. CIT (A) is non deposit of amount in the Capital Gain Account Scheme. However, when the assessee has invested the amount within the stipulated period as provided under the provisions of section 54F. then the substantial requirement as per section 54F(1) is satisfied. The Hon'ble Madras HighCourt in the case of CIT vs. Sardarmal Kothari (supra) Again in the case of Fathima Bai vs ITO (supra), the Hon'ble Karnataka High Court has reiter .....

After ascertaining the purpose, full effect must be given to the statutory fiction and it should be carried to its logical conclusion and to that end, it would be proper and even necessary to assume all those facts on which alone fiction can operate. The legislature in its wisdom has referred to s. 48 in s 50C for adopting the same value as fair market value. Hence, the deeming fiction as provided in s. 50C in respect of the words 'full value of consideration is to be applied only for s. 48. The words full value of consideration as mentioned in other provisions of the Act are not governed by the meaning of fut value of consideration as contained in s 50C. The natural meaning of full value of consideration refers to consideration specified in the sale deed Hence, for the meaning of full value of consideration as mentioned in different provisions of the Act except in s. 48, one will have to consider the full value of consideration as specified in sale deed-CIT vs. Smt. Nilofer Singh (2009) 221 CTP (Dell 277: (2008) 14 DTR (Del) 108 (2009) 309 ITR 233 (Del) relied on. In Explanation to s. 54F(1), it is mention ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... invested in the new asset, the whole of the capital gains shall not be charged under section 45 of the Act. The net consideration for the purposes of section 54F has been defined as the full value of the consideration received or accruing as a result of the transfer of the capital asset as reduced by any expenditure incurred wholly and exclusively in connection with such transfer. In other words. the consideration which is actually received or accrued as a result of transfer has to be invested in the new asset. In the instant case, undisputedly, the consideration which has accrued to the assessee as per the sale deed is Rs 24,60,000 and the whole of the said consideration has been invested in the capital gains accounts scheme for purchase of the new house property which is again not been disputed by the Revenue. The consideration as determined under section 50C based on the stamp duty authority valuation is not a consideration which has been received by or has accrued to the assessee. Rather, it is a value which has been deemed as full value of consideration for the limited purposes of determining the income chargeable as capital gains under section 48 of the Act. Therefore, in the ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... e purpose of explaining the meaning of the 'net consideration' mentioned in Explanation u/s 54F(1) of the Act. In effect, for working out the exempt income also, the deeming fiction does not have any effect in the circumstances where the cost of the new asset is not less than the net consideration whether computed as per the section 48 or 48 rws 50C. On this facts of the present case, where the assessee undisputedly invested 33 lakhs (1.4.06-31.3.2008) in toto and Rs 17.65.752/- (July 2006-march 2008) was invested during the specified period) mentioned in section 54F(1), considering the provisions of the clause (a), the assessee is not chargeable gains for taxation u/s 45 of the Act. It is noticed that the CIT(A) confirmed the addition on a couple of reasons, namely (a) the provisions of section 54F(1) does not permit invoking of the provisions of section SOC of the Act. Therefore, 'net consideration /full value consideration should be as per the sale deed figures and not as per the deemed full value consideration figures; and (b) the assessee is new asset includes only the Ground plus 1st floor only and not in respect of two floors (sic).

It is noted that in this case the AO has not brought evidence of receiving excess amount. The AO proceeded only on the basis of the value adopted by the Stamp Valuation Authorities. Thus as per the findings given by the Hon'ble Courts (supra), no addition is liable to be made. In this view of the matter, the addition sustained by the ld.
