Legal Win: Interest in Land Acquisition Deemed Capital Gains, Exempt from Tax Under Section 10(37) for Agricultural Lands

April 16, 2025

Case Laws     Income Tax     HC

HC determined that interest received for delayed compensation in compulsory land acquisition qualifies as part of the principal compensation amount. The interest shall be classified as "Capital Gains" under the I.T. Act and eligible for exemption under Section 10(37) if the acquired land is agricultural. The court held that such interest payments are not standalone interest as defined under Section 2(28A), and Section 56 provisions will not automatically apply. The determination depends on the specific factual context of each case. Ultimately, the decision was rendered in favor of the assessee, establishing that statutory interest in property acquisition scenarios should be treated as an integral component of the compensation itself.
