case law relied upon:
(i) It is seen from the information available that the assessee has sold a
property for Rs. 49,50,000 /- in the relevant financial year and has not filed the
return of income u/s 139(1), thereby not declaring the gains arising out of such
sale. The assessee was given opportunities to explain the relevant details
including the cost of acquisition and the date of acquisition of the property
along with date of sale and copy of the sale deed. From the information
provided by assessee in his reply dated 05.02.202, as per the computation of
income enclosed, it can be seen that with regards to transaction in question
assessee has declared Capital Gains 35,28,425/- from the sale of land after
taking due consideration of indexed cost of acquisition. The veracity of the
claim of the assessee in this regard is duly established based on the purchase
and sale deed provided related to property in question. As against this Capital
Gain, assessee has claimed deduction. u/s. 54B of Rs. 28,26,800/- by way of
purchase of another land at the said cost within prescribed time limit as per the
act. (Assessee has submitted copy of documents related to purchase of this
land).
(ii) In addition, assessee has claimed expenses incurred on the
construction of residential house of Rs. 19,82,200/- for which he has claimed
as deduction. u/s. 54F. Despite the giving several opportunities, assesseee
has failed to provide supporting documents to conclusively establish the fact
that the assessee has constructed new residential house within the prescribed
time period, so as to make him eligible for claiming deduction. u/s. 54F. The
Valuation report provided by the assessee, does not conclusively establish the
date of construction rather it only indicates that assessee has merely done
some renovation and repairs to the existing house which is not eligible for
deduction u/s. 54F. As per assessee’s request a VC was scheduled on
16.03.2023. In this VC assessee reiterated same facts and asked extra time to
produce new materials to validate his contention. Assessee then submitted
new documents on 20.03.2023 which included agreement between assessee
and alleged contractor for the construction of the house. After careful
examination of the new material on record, it was observed that the agreement
is not made on valid stamp paper, it also does not provide any details of
contractor like his address, PAN, Seal/stamp or signature across revenue
stamp. The document appears to be non-genuine and procured as an
afterthought. Also, assessee has failed to provide any bills/vouchers/invoices

related to purchase of materials, payment of contractor fees etc to prove his
claim of construction of new house. Based on these observation, it suffices to
say that material available on record is not sufficient enough to establish
construction of new house out of money obtained after sale of property in
question by assessee. Hence amount of Rs 7,01,625 /- claimed as deduction
u/s 54F is hereby proposed to be disallowed and added back to the income of
the assessee to be taxed in assessee’s hands.
5. Conclusion drawn
Therefore, it is proposed to make the total additions of Rs 7,01,625/- which is
to be added back to the total income of the assessee for the year under
assessment.
6. Final computation of taxable income:
Sl Description Amount (in INR)
No
1 Income as per Return of Income 16.01.2023 630/-
2 Income as computed u/s143(1)(a) 0
3 Variation in respect of disallowance of 7,01,625
exemption claimed under section 54F
added back under the head LTCG
4 Total Income determined as per the 7,02,255/-
above proposal
7. Assessed u/s. 147 r.w.s. 144B of the Act. Penalty Proceedings u/s. 270A
are initiated separately on this issue for underreporting of income.
Computation and Demand notice issued.
