Assessee filed an appeal against the order U/sec. 154 and CiT a has allowed the appeal on the ground that assessee has invested amount received on sale of lease hold rights in FD with Bank more than 12 months u/Sec 11(1A) of the Act.
Whether CIT A is right and whether assessee can defend the order of CIT A . Pl guide.
It is a well-settled position in law that books of accounts and computation of income are not conclusive for determining tax liability. Tax liability should be determined as per the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961. Therefore, the action of the Ld. CIT(A) is correct in allowing the appeal of the assessee. Furthermore, the revenue does not have the pecuniary jurisdiction to file an appeal before the Hon’ble ITAT on account of the low tax effect.
