Tenant's mere right to stay doesn't constitute property transfer u/s 56(2)(x).

The assessee, a tenant paying monthly rent of Rs. 700, acquired only the right to stay or modify the property, without any ownership rights, thus not attracting provisions of Section 56(2)(x) of the Act. The transfer of property is governed by the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, and the revenue failed to provide evidence of such transfer as per the Act. The ITAT relied on decisions pertaining to Section 50C and the orders in Greenfield Hotels & Estates (P.) Ltd. and The Bombay Drug Distributors, concluding that the addition based on tenancy rights was unjustified. Consequently, the ITAT set aside the impugned appeal order and deleted the addition, allowing the assessee's appeal.
