Beneath section 54F of the Income Tax Act the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT), Jaipur permits for deduction in respect of residential house property purchases in the name of wife.

Beneath section 143(3) or 147 of the Act, the assessment was finished through the total income of the taxpayer at Rs 17,50,620. From the order of AO, the taxpayer was not satisfied and put the matter towards CIT(A). But the CIT(A) post seeking the case of both the parties, supported the addition executed by the AO.

The taxpayer repeated the arguments as this was urged to the lower council and submitted that an agreement for the sale of the industrial plot was implemented for the total sale of Rs 11,25,000. But the wholesale recognition was taken via cheque in 2 installments and the mentioned amount has been furnished in a bank account which was handled by the taxpayers and therefore the profession of the property was managed over to the buyer and in this concern, the whole transactions were executed.

It was provided that the enrollment of the plot in the question take place in April 2011 and in the meantime the DLC value per Sq.Mt. surged from Rs 1500 to Rs 2000 per Sq.Mt. thus AO applied raised DLC value despite computing the sale price of the plot in the question.
