What did the Tribunal hold?

The Tribunal held that capital gains are inextricably linked to a valid transfer of a capital asset. Since the original gift deed was cancelled, the capital gains should be assessed in the year the actual transfer effectively took place (AY 2012-13). The assessee is entitled to deductions for indexed cost of acquisition and improvement, and adjustment for taxes already paid.

What were the facts?

The assessee received Rs. 40 lakhs as compensation via a compromise deed related to a property sale. The Assessing Officer (AO) reopened the case to tax this amount as capital gains, disallowing deductions for the cost of acquisition and improvement, leading to a capital gain of Rs. 37 lakhs. The Commissioner (Appeals) upheld the AO's decision.

What were the issues?

Whether capital gains can be taxed when the underlying transfer is disputed, and whether deductions for cost of acquisition and improvement are allowable on compensation received.

Which sections of the Income-tax Act were involved?

Section 143(3),Section 147,Section 48,Section 64(1)(iv),Section 50C
