This is applicable from "These amendments will take effect from 1st April, 2014 and will, accordingly, apply in relation to the assessment year 2014-15 and subsequent assessment years."
Computation of income under the head “Profits and gains of business or profession” for
transfer of immovable property in certain cases
Currently, when a capital asset, being immovable property, is transferred for a consideration which is less than the value
adopted, assessed or assessable by any authority of a State Government for the purpose of payment of stamp duty in respect
of such transfer, then such value (stamp duty value) is taken as full value of consideration under section 50C of the Income-tax
Act. These provisions do not apply to transfer of immovable property, held by the transferor as stock-in-trade.
It is proposed to provide by inserting a new section 43CA that where the consideration for the transfer of an asset (other than
capital asset), being land or building or both, is less than the stamp duty value, the value so adopted or assessed or assessable
shall be deemed to be the full value of the consideration for the purposes of computing income under the head “Profits and gains
of business of profession”.
It is also proposed to provide that where the date of an agreement fixing the value of consideration for the transfer of the asset
and the date of registration of the transfer of the asset are not same, the stamp duty value may be taken as on the date of the
agreement for transfer and not as on the date of registration for such transfer. However, this exception shall apply only in those
cases where amount of consideration or a part thereof for the transfer has been received by any mode other than cash on or
before the date of the agreement.
These amendments will take effect from 1st April, 2014 and will, accordingly, apply in relation to the assessment year
2014-15 and subsequent assessment years.
