One immovable property (flat)was purchased before 01/04/2017 for which all payments were made before 01/04/2017. allotment of the property as well as possession was given before 01/04/2017. However, due to some reasons the registration (purchase deed) was done after 01/04/2017. As we all know that section 56(2)(x) of the I.T Act came into effect from 01/04/2017 my question is that will provisions of section 56(2)(x) of the I.T Act will be attracted in this case?

To my questions ASKED, > “Answer given by Advocate Shashi Ashok Bekal The new tax regime DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY APPLY # to any assessee. Once the new regime is selected the assessee cannot go back to the old regime. FURTHER, IT IS VERY MUCH POSSIBLE THAT THE TAX LIABILITY COULD BE LESS IN THE OLD REGIME VIS-A-VIS THE NEW REGIME, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE ASSESSEE IS CLAIMING DEDUCTIONS UNDER CHAPTER VIA OF THE ACT.  #” FONT (supplied) < ?!? #/## Me understand that the CPC System in place does not at all permit a taxpayer to automatically upload the completed applicable Form of Return, say ITR 1 , WITHOUT TICKING either one of the two slots- ‘YES’ or ‘NO’  under Part A , Item (A 20) , thereby answering the question, – ” Are you opting for new tax regime u/s 115BAC?”. Put differently,  if taxpayer is entitled and wants to claim any deduction  under CHAPTER VIA, he has no choice except to signify his opting  for either of the two, even if the tax liability as auto computed by the SYSTEM is not of advantage to him. In essence, to my understanding, it is to be impliedly admitted that, as urged for, the CPC System being deficient , requires to be plugged in with suitable correctives , so that the auto calculation of tax liability is in no case of disadvantage( or of  less  advantage to taxpayer !?  – Any Contrarian view does not seem to at all carry any conviction ?! Suggest to kindly go through once again, closely, the ATTACHMENT  for more clarity !
