The Tribunal held that the CIT(A) was correct in holding that there was no transfer of capital assets within the meaning of Section 2(47) of the Act, and therefore, capital gain was not chargeable to tax in Assessment Year 2009-10. The Tribunal affirmed the findings of the CIT(A) and dismissed the grounds raised by the Revenue. The reasoning was that the transaction contemplated by the MOU dated 03.03.2008 was not consummated and attained finality during the assessment year. The assessee had not relinquished his controlling interest in ATS group of companies, and the entire arrangement remained unexecuted, with the matter being sub judice before the Company Law Board. The Tribunal noted that the AO was free to assess such income in the year in which the assessee's controlling interest was actually transferred, taking into account cash consideration and the value of assets received. The ratio of the decision is that a transaction, even if involving intermediate steps and payment of money, does not constitute a transfer of a capital asset under Section 2(47) if the principal transaction contemplated by an underlying agreement remains unexecuted and the controlling interest is not relinquished.
The Tribunal held that the deduction under Section 54 can be claimed to the extent of capital gains utilized till the filing of the return under Section 139(4) of the Act. Therefore, the assessee is entitled to deduction for the amount invested until the filing of the belated return.
