Court: Income Tax Appellate Tribunal ITAT Mumbai

Decided on: May-31-1994

Reported in: (1994)51ITD83(Mum.)

(1) The learned CIT (Appeals) erred in deleting the addition of capital gains of Rs. 23,370 on sale of 485 shares of TISCO which were converted into stock-in-trade before their sale. (2) The learned CIT (Appeals) failed to appreciate the fact that conversion of shares into stock-in-trade and their subsequent sale was with a view to avoid capital gains tax. He ought to have applied the ratio of the Supreme Court decision in McDowell's case (154 ITR 148) and confirmed the addition. (3) Without prejudice to the above, the learned CIT (Appeals) ought to have enhanced the income under the head 'Capital gains' representing the difference between the cost price and the conversion price as he himself has considered the amendment to Section 34 w.e.f. 1-4-1985 in the appellate order.Thus, the dispute is about the taxability and quantification of capital gains.2.
