[Section 49 and 55]4. Cost of Improvement in any other case: Cost of improvement means
all capital expenditure incurred in making any additions or alterations tocapital asset by the assessee after it became his property, and where
capital asset became property of the assesee by any of modes specified u/s49(1), by the previous owner.Exclusions from Cost of Improvement: Cost of improvement does notinclude any expenditure, which is deductible in computing the incomechargeable under the head Income from House Property, Profits and

C.O.A AND C.O.I. IN CERTAIN CASES
[Section 49 and 55]5. Indexed cost of acquisition v/s. indexed cost of improvement:
It needs mention that in the case of assets acquired in any of the modesspecified in section 49 (1), the benefit of indexation for cost of acquisition
can be claimed only from the first year in which the asset was held by theassessee. However, in the case of indexation of cost of improvement, thebenefit of indexation can be availed from the year in which improvement tothe asset was made.
IPCC - Income Tax 3918 September 2009
6. Conversion of debentures into shares:
Similarly, if debentures are converted into shares, it is not regarded astransfer by virtue of section 47(x). If these shares are sold subsequently,the cost of acquisition would be the cost incurred to acquire the debentureson conversion of which the shares were obtained as provided in section 49(2A). Nevertheless, there is no provision to enable the assessee to takethe period of holding of the debentures in determination of the long-term
nature of the shares and again the possibility of claiming the indexationbenefit for the period for which debentures were held is ruled out.

7. Conversion of investment into stock -in- trade:
in the case of conversion of capital asset in to stock-in-trade the provisionsof sec.45 (2) explicitly provide for deferring the chargeability till the year ofsale of stock-in-trade. While computing the capital gains of sale of thestock-in-trade, the assessee will have to index the cost of acquisition onlyup to the year of conversion and not up to the year of chargeability since

which the computation is made and taxability arises.
8. Compulsory acquisition:Again, when compulsory acquisition is the instance of transfer in theassessee's case, section 45(5) provides for charging the capital gain only
in the year of receipt of the compensation and not in the year of compulsory acquisition. Nevertheless, indexation benefit would not run upto the year of receipt of compensation but would be confirmed only up tothe year of compulsory acquisition.

[Section 49 and 55]Case Laws:
1. Amount paid to clear mortgage: Where property has beenmortgaged by previous owner during his life-time and the
assessee, after inheriting the same, has discharged mortgage debt,then by discharging the mortgage debt, the assessee acquires theinterest of the mortgagee in the property. The amount so paid shall be

The Government auctioned the mortgaged property of assessee forkist amount due by him to the State, and paid the balance amount(after deducting kist) to the assessee. The assessee claimeddeduction for kist amount in computing capital gains.
IPCC - Income Tax 4218 September 2009
Held that, since the price received in auction entirely belonged to theassessee, the amount deducted towards kist was not diverted atsource but was applied in discharge of an obligation after it wasreceived by the assessee. Therefore, kist amount was not deductiblein computing capital gains. CIT v. Attili N. Rao [2001] 252 ITR 880(SC).

income derived from such asset. If the assessee desires tocapitalize the interest, is it possible to treat it as part of the cost ofacquisition and claim it as deduction in the computation of capitalgains is an issue which has been favourably considered by courts.So long as the loan has been exclusively borrowed and utilised for

acquisition of an asset, capitalisation of interest is possible as held
in the case of CIT v/s Mithlesh Kumari, 92 ITR 9 (DEL) of Addl. CITv/s K.S.Gupta, 119 ITR 372 (AP). Similar analogy can be inferredfrom the decisions rendered in CIT v/s Maithreyi Pai, 152 ITR 247(Kar) and Saharanpur Electric Supply Co. v/s CIT, 194 ITR294(SC).

b. Riot or civil disturbance; orc. Accidental fire or explosion; ord. Action by enemy or action taken in combating an enemy (whether with or
without declaration of war).However, where damage/destruction is not attributable to any ofthe reasons aforesaid, there will be no charge of capital gains, asthere can be no transfer without existence of ca ital asset at the
IPCC - Income Tax 6618 September 2009
time of transfer. Vania Silk Mills P. Ltd. v. CIT [1991] 191 ITR 647
(SC).Computation of capital gains in respect of such assets: As per theCBDTs circular issued in this behalf, capital gains would be worked outin respect of assets which get destroyed, etc. as per the provisions ofSections 48 and 50, as the case may be, by taking the insurance
money or the market value of the asset received from the insurer as thefull value of consideration. Further, adjustment for cost inflation indexwill be made for non-depreciable assets and for depreciable assets, thewritten down value of such assets will be reduced from the block ofassets as provided for in Section 43(6).
2 In this case transfer takes place in the year of conversion So CII

2. In this case, transfer takes place in the year of conversion. So, CII
of the year of conversion is used for computation of capital gains.Further, such fair market value will be taken as cost of convertedstock.
3. When the partners or members transfer the capital assets, theagreed consideration will be taken as their cost of acquisition.
4.(a)In case of enhanced compensation : In case the compensation isenhanced or further enhanced by the Court, Tribunal or otherauthority, the capital gains shall be chargeable to tax in the yearwhen the enhanced compensation is received. The amount ofenhanced com ensation will be the full value of consideration and
IPCC - Income Tax 6718 September 2009
the cost of acquisition and cost of improvement in that case shall
be nil. If the enhanced compensation is received by any otherperson due to the death of the transferor or due to any otherreason, the amount will be deemed to be capital gain of the recipient.(b)Reduction in compensation : In case the initial compensation or
the enhanced or further enhanced compensation is reduced by the
court or Tribunal or any other authority, such assessed capital gainfor that year shall be recomputed by taking the compensation orconsideration as so reduced by the court, tribunal or other authorityto be the full value of consideration.

: Some Issues :
1. Payment, by way of cash or otherwise, to retiring partner over andabove balance in his capital account: So far as retiring partner isconcerned, the amount received by such partner from the firm in
excess of capital and profits standing to his credit cannot beconsidered as capital gains, as there is no transfer. The amountreceived by him is not consideration for transfer of his interest tothe continuing partners; he only receives his share in partnership. CIT v. R. Lin mallu Ra hukumar 2001 247 ITR 801 SC .
IPCC - Income Tax 6818 September 2009
However, so far as the firm is concerned, it has been held in CIT v.A.N. Naik Associates [2004] 265 ITR 346 (Bom), that distribution ofasset by the firm to a partner on his retirement shall come withinthe expression otherwise (as appearing in Section 45(4) andamounts to transfer of capital assets within the meaning of Section45(4) and therefore, is liable to capital gains tax in the hands of the
firm.
2. Distribution to partner on dissolution v. Gift of land to Partner: So
7/27/2019 Capital Gains - Ay0910
69/197
p
far as registration is concerned, gift of land to partner is required tobe registered under Registration Act, 1908, but the distribution ofland to partner on dissolution of the firm, doesnt requireregistration, as decided in N. Khadervali Saheb v. N. Gudu Sahib[2003] 261 ITR 1 (SC). So far as taxability is concerned, gift ofcapital asset being a land, is exempt u/s 47(iii), but distribution of
land on dissolution is taxable u/s 45(4). Thus, decision as to gift ordistribution on dissolution is to be taken after taking this intoconsideration.
IPCC - Income Tax 6918 September 2009
3. Interest on enhanced compensation: Interest received on
enhanced compensation in case of compulsory acquisition or thetransfer referred to in Section 45(5), will be taxable as income fromother sources as per the method of accounting followed byassessee. If assessee follows cash system, it will be taxable in theyear of receipt. However, if assessee follows mercantile system,such interest shall be spread on an annual basis over the period
right from the date on which asset was acquired to the date onwhich the order for enhancement is made by the Court. [Rama Baiv. CIT [1990] 181 ITR 480 (SC)].

IPCC - Income Tax 7018 September 2009
fighting operations, Mr. A lost his gold chain and a diamond ring, which he
had purchased in April, 2005 for Rs. 1,20,000. The market value of thesetwo items as on the date of fire accident was Rs. 1,80,000.
Mr. A received the following amounts from the insurance company :
1. Towards loss of stock Rs.4,80,000
2. Towards damage of machinery Rs.6,00,000
3. Towards gold chain and diamond ring Rs.1,80,000

12) Solution :Assuming that both the breaking out of the fire and receipt ofinsurance compensation took place place during the previousyear 2008-09 and whole of the insurance compensation has beenreceived in cash, the taxability of the aforesaid items has beendiscussed hereinbelow -
(i) Treatment ofcompensation in respectofstock-in-trade :Stock-in-trade is not a capital asset. Loss of stock-in-trade is atrading loss. The same is allowable as deduction in computingincome under the head Profits and gains of business or
IPCC - Income Tax 7118 September 2009
. - - = -money = 6,50,000 - 4,80,000 = Rs. 1,70,000. Alternatively, thewhole of the value of stock can be claimed as deduction; and theinsurance compensation received can be assesseed as taxablebusiness receipt.
(ii) & (iii) Treatment ofcompensation in respectof machinery,chain and ring : While the machinery has been directly destroyed
by fire; the gold chain and diamond ring has been destroyedduring fire fighting operation (the immediate cause thereof beingthe fire). Therefore, the compensation has been received undercircumstances referred to in section 45(1A). Accordingly, thecapital gains shall be computed as follows -

19) Solution- (A)Tax Consequences in the hands of Company : The net tax liability towards
dividend distribution tax is ascertained at Rs. 3,00,000 which shall bededucted while computing accumulated profits deemed as dividend u/s2(22)(c). It is assumed that the liability towards dividend distribution taxincludes the amount of provision for taxation given in the balance sheet.

Therefore, only the additional provision of Rs. 50,000 will be deducted and

The company has to pay dividend distribution tax on the aforesaid amount ofdeemed dividend, which is already given in the question i.e. Rs. 3 lakhs.Total distribution on liquidation = Market value of assets i.e. agriculturallands + Cash balance after deducting the sum requisite for taxes = 60 lakhs+ 6,50,000 - 2,50,000 (for amount of taxes given in the question) - 50,000(for additional dividend distribution tax) = Rs. 63.5 lakhs.
