Jai Trust v. UOI [2024] 160 taxmann.com 690 / (2025) 475 ITR 568 (Bom)(HC)

S. 147 : Reassessment-Capital gains-Gift of shares
Gift of shares without consideration not liable to capital gains-Notice of reassessment invalid. [S. 45, 47(iii), 50CA, 50D, 143(1), 148, Art. 226]

The assessee gifted listed shares without consideration. Return was processed u/s 143(1). AO issued notice u/s 148 alleging escapement of capital gains. On writ, the High Court held that transfer by way of gift is covered u/s 47(iii), hence excluded from capital gains under s. 45. Since no consideration passed, ss. 50CA and 50D were inapplicable. The reassessment notice lacked tangible material and was quashed.(AY. 2010-11)
