LTCG tax saving from sale of property: Builder’s error in allotting flat will not impact tax benefit claim, says ITAT
ITAT), Mumbai bench, a taxpayer Mukesh Harilal Mehta had claimed section 54 deduction under the Income-tax Act, 1961 in his Income-tax (I-T) return for the financial year 2014-15. The tax tribunal ruled that this assertion cannot be refuted due to an error made by the builder in assigning the apartment. The builder mistakenly allocated the apartment purchased by the claimant to another buyer. However, acknowledging this mistake, the builder assigned a similarly positioned apartment in the same building to Mehta, according to a Times of India news report. Click here for your complete tax-saving guide Mehta fulfilled all the necessary conditions. However, during assessment, the Income Tax (I-T) officer rejected the claim, citing the absence of a registered sale deed as evidence for the purchase of the new flat, stated ToI. Moreover, the particulars of the new flat stated in the possession letter differed from the one towards which payment had been made. The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal concluded that denying the exemption was unwarranted since Mehta shouldn't be penalized for the builder's error in allotting the flat, stated the ToI news report.

IPL 17: Four men, four narratives and a Cup on the horizon
Mahendra Singh Dhoni's retirement, Virat Kohli's 16-year-itch, the second chance that life has offered Rishabh Pant and Rohit Sharma's bleeding heart will make for intriguing sub-plots in the annual carnival called the Indian Premier League starting on Friday. Dhoni, the 42-year-old evergreen captain, will once again smile wryly when asked if it's his last year. His heir apparent Pant, literally back from the brink after a life-threatening accident, will be desperate to show the world that he can still hit those one-handed sixes with elan. In between, he could also be slipping in those quotable quotes behind the stumps that are considered broadcast gold. Rohit will be the last person to show his scars hidden behind the typical 'Mumbaiya' nonchalance as he gets down to enjoying his evening dates at the Wankhede albeit without the captain's title. The partisan crowd would nonetheless look forward to those pulled sixes.
