CIT v. Gillanders Arbuthnot & Co.

87 ITR 407Supreme Court of India1973#2277 most cited

What is CIT v. Gillanders Arbuthnot & Co. authority for?

The "full value of the consideration" for computing capital gains under Section 48 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 (or Section 12B(2) of the 1922 Act), means the price actually bargained for and agreed to by the parties, not the market value of the asset transferred. In a sale transaction involving a price, the market value of the consideration is not relevant.
