7. CAPITAL GAINS
SOLUTIONS TO ASSIGNMENT PROBLEMS
Problem No. 1

Since car is a personal asset, conversion or treatment of the same as the stock-in-trade of his business will not
be trapped by the provisions of section 45(2). Hence A is not liable to capital gains tax.

Problem No. 2

Since the capital asset is converted into stock-in-trade during the previous year relevant to the A.Y. 2014-15, it
will be a transfer under section 2(47) during the P.Y.2013-14. However, the profits or gains arising from the
above conversion will be chargeable to tax during the A.Y. 2015-16, since the stock-in-trade has been sold only
on June 10, 2014. For this purpose, the fair market value on the date of such conversion (i.e. 10th March, 2014)
will be the full value of consideration.

The capital gains will be computed after deducting the indexed cost of acquisition from the full value of
consideration. The cost inflation index for 1988-89 i.e., the year of acquisition is 161 and the index for the year
of transfer i.e., 2013-14 is 939. The indexed cost of acquisition is 60,000 × 939/161 = ` 3,49,938. Hence, `
2,00,062 (i.e. ` 5,50,000 – ` 3,49,938) will be treated as long term capital gains chargeable to tax during the
A.Y.2015-16. During the same assessment year, ` 50,000 (` 6,00,000 - ` 5,50,000) will be chargeable to tax as
business profits.

Problem No. 3

We know that capital gains arise only when we transfer a capital asset. The liability of capital gains tax in the
situations given above is discussed as follows:
i) As per the provisions of section 47(iii), transfer of a capital asset under a gift is not regarded as transfer for
the purpose of capital gains. Therefore, capital gains tax liability does not arise in the given situation.
ii) As per the provisions of section 47(i), transfer of a capital asset (being in kind) on the total or partial
partition of Hindu undivided family is not regarded as transfer for the purpose of capital gains. Therefore,
capital gains tax liability does not arise in the given situation.
iii) As per the provisions of section 47(x), transfer by way of conversion of bonds or debentures, debenture
stock or deposit certificates in any form of a company into shares or debentures of that company is not
regarded as transfer for the purpose of capital gains. Therefore, capital gains tax liability does not arise in
the given situation.

Notes:
1. Long-term capital gains on sale of original shares through a recognized stock exchange (STT paid) is

2. Since bonus shares are held for less than 12 months before sale, the gain arising there from is a short term
capital gain chargeable to tax@15% as per section 111A after adjusting the unexhausted basic exemption
limit. Since Mr. Mithun is over 60 years of age, he is entitled for a higher basic exemption limit of ` 3,00,000
for A.Y. 2015-16.
3. Dividend income is exempt under section 10(34).
4. Brokerage paid is allowable since it is an expenditure incurred wholly and exclusively in connection with the
transfer. Hence, it qualifies for deduction under section 48(i).
5. Cost of bonus shares will be Nil as such shares are allotted after 1.04.1981.
6. Securities transaction tax is not allowable as deduction.

Less: Advance taken and forfeited 40,000
Cost for the purposes of indexation 3,50,000
Indexed cost of acquisition (` 3,50,000 x 1024/100) 35,84,000

Note 2: Any improvement cost incurred prior to 1.4.1981 is to be ignored when fair market value as on 1.4.1981
is taken into consideration.

No.1 for CA/CWA & MEC/CEC MASTER MINDS
Problem No. 8
The house is sold before 36 months from the date of purchase. Hence, the house is a short term capital asset
and no benefit of indexation would be available.

Particulars `
Sale consideration 20,00,000
Less: Cost of acquisition 10,00,000
Cost of improvement 2,00,000
Short term capital gain 4,16,000

Note: The exemption of capital gains under section 54 is available only in case of long-term capital asset. As
the house is short-term capital asset, Mr. Cee cannot claim exemption under section 54. Thus, the amount of
taxable short-term capital gains is ` 8,00,000.

Full value of consideration [See Notes (i) & (ii) below] 25,00,000
Less: Indexed Cost of acquisition [See Note (iii) below]
Indexed Cost of land (`1,10,000 x 1024/100) 11,26,400

Taxable capital gains (Amount to be invested in NHAI bonds to get full
exemption for tax on capital gains) [See Note (v) below] 4,90,535

Notes:
i) As per section 50C(1), where the consideration received or accruing as a result of transfer of a capital
asset, being land or building or both, is less than the value adopted by the Stamp Valuation Authority for the
purpose of payment of stamp duty, such value adopted by the Stamp Valuation Authority shall be deemed
to be the full value of the consideration received or accruing as a result of such transfer. Accordingly, full
value of consideration would be ` 25 lacs in this case.
ii) As per section 50C(3), where the valuation is referred by the Assessing Officer to Valuation Officer and the
value ascertained by such Valuation Officer exceeds the value adopted by the Stamp Valuation Authority
for the purpose of payment of stamp duty, the value adopted by the Stamp Valuation Authority shall be
taken as the full value of the consideration received or accruing as a result of the transfer. Since the value
ascertained by the Valuation Officer (i.e. ` 27 lakhs), is higher than the value adopted by the Stamp
Valuation Authority (i.e. ` 25 lakhs), the full value of consideration in this case would be ` 25 lakhs.
iii) Since the cost of land acquired by Anshu on 1.4.1981 is not given in the question, the fair market value as
on 1.4.1981 is taken as the cost of acquisition. Indexation benefit is available since land and building are
both long-term capital assets, as they are held by Anshu for more than 36 months.
iv) As per section 74, brought forward unabsorbed short term capital loss can be set off against any capital
gains, short term or long term, for 8 assessment years immediately succeeding the assessment year for
which the loss was first computed. Therefore, short term capital loss on sale of shares during the F.Y.2009-
10 can be set-off against the current year long-term capital gains on sale of land and building.
v) As per section 54EC, an assessee can avail exemption in respect of long-term capital gains, if such capital
gains are invested in the bonds issued by the NHAI redeemable after 3 years. Such investment is required
to be made within a period of 6 months from the date of transfer of the asset. The exemption shall be the
amount of capital gains or the amount of such investment made, whichever is less. Therefore, in this case,
if Anshu invests the entire capital gains in bonds of NHAI, she can get full exemption from tax on capital
gains.

No.1 for CA/CWA & MEC/CEC MASTER MINDS
Notes:
1. As per the provisions of section 50C, in case the stamp duty value adopted by the stamp valuation authority
is higher than the actual sale consideration, the stamp duty value shall be deemed as the full value of
consideration.
2. Exemption under section 54 is available if a new residential house is purchased within one year before or
two years after the date of transfer. Since the cost of new residential house is less than the capital gain,
capital gain to the extent of cost of new asset is exempt under section 54.
3. Exemption under section 54EC is available in respect of investment in bonds of National Highways
Authority of India only if the investment is made within a period of six months after the date of such transfer.
In this case, since the investment is made after six months, exemption under section 54EC would not be
available.
If the new asset purchased by the assessee on the basis of which exemption under section 54 is claimed, is
transferred within 3 years from the date of its acquisition, then for computing the taxable short-term capital
gain on such transfer, the cost of acquisition of such asset shall be taken as Nil.

Notes:
1. Exemption under section 54 is available if one new residential house is purchased within two years from the
date of transfer of existing residential house, which is a long-term capital asset. Since the cost of new
residential house is less than the long-term capital gains, capital gains to the extent of cost of new house,
i.e., ` 4 lakh, is exempt under section 54.
2. As per section 51, any advance received and retained by the assessee, as a result of earlier negotiations
for sale of the asset, shall be deducted from the purchase price for computing the cost of acquisition of the

Problem No. 16
Conversion of a capital asset into stock-in-trade is a transfer within the meaning of section 2(47) in the previous
year in which the asset is so converted. However, the capital gains will be charged to tax only in the year in
which the stock-in-trade is sold.
The cost inflation index of the financial year in which the conversion took place should be considered for
computing indexed cost of acquisition. Further, the fair market value on the date of conversion would be
deemed to be the full value of consideration for transfer of the asset as per section 45(2). The sale price less
the fair market value on the date of conversion would be treated as the business income of the year in which
the stock-in-trade is sold.
Therefore, in this problem, both capital gains and business income would be charged to tax in the A.Y. 2015-16.

1. Where the consideration received or accruing as a result of transfer of a capital asset, being land or building
or both, is less than the value adopted or assessed by any authority of a State Government (Stamp
Valuation Authority) for the purpose of payment of stamp duty in respect of such asset and the same is not
contested by the assessee, such value adopted or assessed shall be deemed to be the full value of the
consideration received or accruing as a result of such transfer [Section 50C(1)]. Accordingly, the full value
of consideration will be ` 19.5 lakhs in this case.

IPCC_33e_DT_Capital Gains_Assignment Solutions __________________________________28


No.1 for CA/CWA & MEC/CEC MASTER MINDS
2. It is further provided in section 50C(3) that where the valuation is referred by the Assessing Officer to
Valuation Officer and the value ascertained by such Valuation Officer exceeds the value adopted or
assessed by the Stamp Valuation Authority, the value adopted or assessed by the Stamp Valuation
Authority shall be taken as the full value of the consideration received or accruing as a result of the transfer.
Since the value ascertained by the valuation officer (i.e. ` 20 lakhs) is higher than the value adopted by the
stamp valuation authority (i.e. ` 19.5 lakhs), the full value of consideration in this case is ` 19.5 lakhs.
3. Cost of land which is acquired on partition of HUF is the cost to the previous owner. Since date and cost of
acquisition to the previous owner are not given, fair market value as on 1.4.1981 is taken as the cost and
indexed.
4. Brought forward unabsorbed short term capital loss can be set off against any capital gains, short term or
long term, for 8 assessment years immediately succeeding the assessment year for which the loss was first
computed.
5. As per section 54EC, an assessee can avail exemption in respect of long-term capital gains, if such capital
gains are invested in the bonds issued by the NHAI / RECL redeemable after 3 years. Such investment is
required to be made within a period of 6 months from the date of transfer of the asset. The exemption shall
be the amount of capital gain or the amount of such investment made, whichever is less.

Notes:
1. Since the building and the land are held for more than 36 months, the same are long-term capital assets
and the capital gain arising on sale of such assets is a long-term capital gain.
2. As per the provisions of section 54, the capital gain arising on transfer of a long-term residential property
shall not be chargeable to tax to the extent such capital gain is invested in the purchase of a residential
house property one year before or two years after the date of transfer of original asset or constructed a
residential house property within three years after such date. Since Mr. Parri has purchased another
residential house in June, 2014 for ` 8,00,000, the capital gain arising on transfer of residential house
property in May, 2014 is exempt under section 54 to that extent.

the transfer took place on 1.7.2014 and the 6 months period within which the deposit should be made for the
purpose of section 54EC would expire by 1.1.2015. The investment in REC/NHAI Capital Gains bonds was

Notes:
1. As per section 50C, where the consideration received or accruing as a result of transfer of a capital asset,
being land or building or both, is less than the valuation by the stamp valuation authority, such value
adopted or assessed by the stamp valuation authority shall be deemed to be the full value of consideration.
Where a reference is made to the valuation officer, and the value ascertained by the valuation officer
exceeds the value adopted by the stamp valuation authority, the value adopted by the stamp valuation
authority shall be taken as the full value of consideration.

Being, the value adopted by the registration authority for stamp duty, shall be taken as the sale
consideration for the purpose of charge of capital gain.
2. The house was inherited by Mr. Thomas under the will of his father and therefore, the cost incurred by the
previous owner shall be taken as the cost. Fair market value as on 01.04.81, accordingly, shall be adopted
as the cost of acquisition of the house property. However, indexation benefit will be given from the year in
which Mr. Thomas first held the asset i.e. P.Y.2003-04.
Alternative view: In the case of CIT v. Manjula J. Shah 16 Taxmann 42 (Bom.), the Bombay High Court
held that the indexed cost of acquisition in case of gifted asset can be computed with reference to the year
in which the previous owner first held the asset.
As per this view, the indexation cost of acquisition of house would be ` 27,64,800 and long term capital gain
would be ` 4,80,446.

In this case, the assessee has fulfilled the above mentioned conditions. Therefore, he is entitled to exemption
under section 54F.

Problem No. 26
The buyback of unlisted shares would attract additional income-tax under section 115QA in the hands of the
domestic company, i.e., Alpha Ltd. in this case. Consequently, the income arising to Mr. Gurmeet in respect of
such buyback of unlisted shares by Alpha Ltd. would be exempt under section 10(34A).

Problem No. 27
1. False: The exemption under section 54EC has been restricted, by limiting the maximum investment in long
term specified assets (i.e. bonds of NHAI or RECL, redeemable after 3 years) to ` 50 lakh during any
financial year.
Therefore, in this case, the exemption under section 54EC can be availed only to the extent of ` 50 lakh,
provided the investment is made within six months from the date of transfer.
2. True: As per section 47(xa), any transfer by way of conversion of bonds referred to in section 115AC into
shares and debentures of any company is not regarded as transfer. Therefore, there will be no capital gains
on conversion of foreign currency exchangeable bonds into shares or debentures.

2. However, as per section 45(2), the capital gains arising from the transfer by way of conversion of capital
assets into stock-in-trade will be chargeable to tax only in the year in which the stock-in-trade is sold.
3. The indexation benefit for computing indexed cost of acquisition would be available only up to the year of
conversion of capital asset to stock-in-trade and not up to the year of sale of stock-in-trade.
4. For the purpose of computing capital gains in such cases, the fair market value of the capital asset on the
date on which it was converted into stock-in-trade shall be deemed to be the full value of consideration
received or accruing as a result of the transfer of the capital asset.
In this case, since only 5/8th of stock-in trade (5 flats out of 8 flats) is sold in the P.Y. 2013-14 only
proportionate capital gains (i.e. 5/8th) would be chargeable to tax in the A.Y. 2014-15.
5. On sale of such stock-in-trade (i.e., flats, in this case), business income would arise. The business income
chargeable to tax would be the price at which the flats are sold as reduced by the fair market value on the
date of conversion of the capital asset (i.e., land) into stock-in-trade and the cost of construction of flats.
6. In case of conversion of capital asset into stock-in-trade and subsequent sale of stock-in-trade, the period
of 6 months, for the purpose of exemption under section 54EC, is to be reckoned from the date of sale of
stock-in-trade [CBDT Circular No.791 dated 2.6.2000]. In this case, since the investment in bonds of NHAI
has been made within 6 months of sale of flats, the same qualifies for exemption under section 54EC,
subject to a maximum of ` 50 lakh.
