  II.  Useful Case Laws: 


1.   Shri Sunil Bhandari Vs. ACIT,  IT Appeal No. 122/JU/2011, Dated: 30-11-2012, ITAT - Jodhpur

Assessee engaged in property trading too can claim exemption u/s 54F

There is no dispute regarding the source of income of the assessee which is mainly from the business of purchase and sale of plots/lands. But it does not mean that such an assessee is debarred from purchasing and holding some plots/land as capital asset and claim benefit u/s 54F. The entire facts regarding this aspect go to prove that the assessee had kept the impugned asset and has earned LTCG, which has been invested in terms of provisions of section 54F. Accordingly, we are convinced that the action of the AO does not lack any enquiry in this regard and he has taken one of the possible views keeping in view the entire facts. The ld. CIT can have his own view and that may be other possible view. But as we have discussed above in such situations, the order cannot be treated as erroneous. Accordingly, in view of our foregoing discussion, we hold that the A.O. had made proper enquiries and has taken a correct decision. The ld. CIT cannot revise the order on this aspect.

2.  CIT Vs. Liquid Investment and Trading Co., ITA No. 240/2009, Date of Order: 12.02.2013, High Court of Delhi

Admission of quantum appeal by High Court shows issue is debatable for levying penalty u/s Sec. 271(1)(c)

Both the CIT(A) as well as the ITAT have set aside the penalty imposed by the AO u/s 271(1)(c) on the ground that the issue of deduction u/s 14A of the Act was a debatable issue. We may also note that against the quantum assessment where under deduction u/s 14A of the Act was prescribed to the assessee, the assessee has preferred an appeal in this Court u/s 260A of the Act which has also been admitted and substantial question of law framed. This itself shows that the issue is debatable. For these reasons, we are of the opinion that no question of law arises in the present case.
