16, Mumbai, dated 31-5-2012 for the assessment year 2009-10 in the
computed the income in respect of all the three shops u/s.23 as income
from house property. The contention of the assessee was that three
shops at the end of the year was its trading assets cannot be charged to
tax under the head income from house property as profit on sale thereof
shall be chargeable to tax under the head of income from business. The
AO did not agree with the assessee’s contention and brought the notional
CIT(A) restored the matter back to the file of the AO with the following
observations :-
3. The ld. AR placed the order of Bombay Tribunal in the case of M/s
business, income from the same is not assessable u/s.23(1) of the IT Act.
4. On the other hand, ld. DR relied on the order of Hon’ble Delhi High
Court in the case of Ansal Housing Finance & Leasing Co. Ltd., 354 ITR
issue under consideration has been restored by the CIT(A) to the file of
the case of M/s Chennai Properties & Investments Ltd. Vs. CIT, reported
in (2015) 42 SCD 651, vide judgment dated 9-4-2015 has held that where
the rental income received was shown as business income, the action of
income from business shown by the assessee was held to be not justified.
The Hon’ble Supreme Court held that since the assessee company’s
main object, is to acquire and held properties and to let out these
objective of the company, therefore, rent received from the letting out of

company. The three flats which could not be sold at the end of the year
these three flats as income from house property was not justified insofar
as these flats were neither given on rent nor the assessee has intention to
earn rent by letting out the flats. The flats not sold was its stock-in-trade
directed to delete the addition made by estimating letting value of the flats
From the record we found that the assessee has shown long term capital
shares of India Finance & Construction Co. Pvt. Ltd on 31.03.2009 and
section 54EC of the Act wherein the Legislature has prescribed limit of
Rs.50 lakhs for the purpose of deduction under that section by the
Finance Act, 2007 which is effective from 01.04.2007. The assessee had
the AO did not allow exemption in respect of Rs.50 lakhs invested on 30-
and not to the financial year. By the impugned order, the CIT(A) confirmed
squarely covered by the decision of the Hon’ble Madras High Court in the
case of CIT Vs. C.Jaichander & Sriram Indubal, T.C.(A).Nos.419 and 533
“11. In any event, from a reading of Section 54EC(1) and the first
proviso, it is clear that the time limit for investment is six months
from the date of transfer and even if such investment falls under two
financial years, the benefit claimed by the assessee cannot be
denied. It would have made a difference, if the restriction on the
investment in bonds to Rs.50,00,000/- is incorporated in Section
54EC(1) of the Act itself. However, the ambiguity has been
removed by the legislature with effect from 1.4.2015 in relation to
the assessment year 2015-16 and the subsequent years.”
The Hon’ble High Court also clarified that the legislature has also
Finance (No.2) Bill, 2014 also states that the same will be applicable from
the case of CIT Vs. C.Jaichander & Sriram Indubal (supra), we do not find
