Addition u/s 68 on account of gift received from unconnected person is valid.

By applying to the Judgment of Hon’ble Delhi High Court in the case of Rajiv Tondon vs. ACIT 294 ITR 488 . Held that there is no relationship of the donor with the assessee. There is also no occasion for this gift. The taxing authorities have rightly looked into the surrounding circumstances and drawn the conclusion that gift in this case was not genuine. So the addition was rightly made u/s 68 of IT Act.

2.   M/s. Jai Hind Rubber Products Vs ACIT, ITA No.2296/Mum/2011, Date of pronouncement: 03.08.2012, ITAT- Mumbai

Assessee is entitled to exemption under section 54E in respect of capital gains arising on transfer of a capital asset on which depreciation has been allowed

The assessee cannot be denied exemption under section 54E, because, firstly, there is nothing in section 50 to suggest that the fiction created in section 50 is not only restricted to sections 48 and 49 but also applies to other provisions. On the contrary, section 50 makes it explicitly clear that the deemed fiction created in sub-sections (1) and (2) of section 50 is restricted only to the mode of computation of capital gains contained in sections 48 and 49. Secondly, it is well established in law that a fiction created by the Legislature has to be confined to the purpose for which it is created. Thirdly, section 54E does not make any distinction between depreciable asset and non-depreciable asset and, therefore, the exemption available to the depreciable asset under section 54E cannot be denied by referring to the fiction created under section 50. Section 54E specifically provides that where capital gain arising on transfer of a long term capital asset is invested or deposited (whole or any part of the net consideration) in the specified assets, the assessee shall not be charged to capital gains. Therefore, the exemption under section 54E of the Income-tax Act cannot be denied to the assessee on account of the fiction created in section 50. (CIT Vs ACE Builders (P.) Ltd[2006] 281 ITR 210 (BOM.) followed.)
