Court Examines Land Classification for Sale to Kerala Industrial Corp: Agricultural or Non-Agricultural?

February 26, 2022

Case Laws     Income Tax     HC

Capital gains - nature of land sold - land converted into a barren land to establish an industrial estate - land sold by the assessee through sale deed in favour of Kerala State Industrial Development Corporation Limited (for short ‘KSIDC’) - In the case on hand, the assessee both factually and legally did not change the character of land from agriculture to non-agriculture. The assessee has demonstrated that the classification of land continued to be agricultural land in the revenue records even as on the date of sale. Though it is a peripheral, it is an important matter in appreciating the character of land sold by the assessee; namely, had the land been converted for the non-agricultural purpose/laid out in plots, then the stamp duty payable on registration would be on the nature of land sold at the relevant point of time. - HC
