The Tax PublishersITA No. 57 of 2017
2019 TaxPub(DT) 2894 (Bom-HC)

INCOME TAX ACT, 1961

Section 45

Following CIT v. Sambhaji Nagar Co-op. Hsg. Society Ltd., Tribunal rightly held that TDR (Transferrable Development Right) which was generated by the plot/property/land and came to be transferred under a document in favour of purchaser would not result in taxable capital gains.

Capital gains - Chargeability - Sale of additional TDR - TDR (Transferable development rights) /FSI (Floor Space Index)

Revenue challenged the order of Tribunal in including the TDR (Transferable development rights) /FSI (Floor Space Index) value into the computation of capital gain provided assessee had merely transferred reversionary right in the lease land. Held: Following CIT v. Sambhaji Nagar Co-op. Hsg. Society Ltd. (2015) 370 ITR 325 (Bom) : 2015 TaxPub(DT) 0325 (Bom-HC), Tribunal was in no error in concluding that the TDR which was generated by the plot/property/land and came to be transferred under a document in favour of the purchaser would not result in the gains being assessed to capital gains. An asset, which is capable of acquisition at a cost, would be included within the provisions pertaining to the head 'Capital gains' as opposed to assets in the acquisition of which no cost at all can be conceived.
