RAVI JAKHAR,MUMBAI vs. ASS. COMMISSIONER OF INCOME TAX, CIRCLE 35(2), MUMBAI
Facts
The assessee treated the sale of shares as a long-term capital asset and claimed exemption under Section 54F. The AO classified the sale as a short-term capital asset, denying the exemption. The AO also added Rs. 3,08,600/- as unexplained cash deposits. The CIT(A) confirmed the AO's findings.
Held
The Tribunal held that the amended provisions of Section 2(42A) of the Income Tax Act, which require a holding period of 36 months for long-term capital gains on shares, were not applicable to the assessment year 2013-14. Following the ruling in CIT vs. Exim Rajathi India (P) Ltd., the Tribunal concluded that shares held for 31 months qualified as a long-term capital asset.
Key Issues
Whether shares held for 31 months qualify as a long-term capital asset for the assessment year 2013-14 and if the cash deposit of Rs. 3,08,600/- is unexplained.
