E.g. Mr. X has received 3 gifts of `15,000 each from his 3 friends, entire amount of `45,000 is exempt from income tax but if he has received 3 gifts of `20,000 each, entire amount of `60,000 shall be taxable. 2. Gift of immovable property If any individual or HUF has received any immovable property without consideration, it will be exempt if stamp duty value is upto `50,000 but if the stamp duty value exceeds fifty thousand rupees, entire stamp duty value shall be taxable under the head Other Sources.

If immovable property has been received for a consideration which is less than the stamp duty value of the property by an amount exceeding fifty thousand rupees, in such cases taxable amount shall be the stamp duty value of such property as exceeds such consideration. E.g. Mr. X purchased immovable property for `3,00,000 but stamp duty value is `5,00,000, taxable amount shall be `2,00,000 The above provision shall not apply if the date of the agreement fixing the amount of consideration for the transfer of immovable property and the date of registration are not the same and in such cases, the stamp duty value on the date of the agreement shall be taken into consideration but part of consideration should have been paid in any manner other than cash on or before the date of agreement.

Illustration 3 Mr. Hari, a property dealer, sold a building in the course of his business to his friend Rajesh, who is a dealer in automobile spare parts, for ` 90 lakh on , when the stamp duty value was ` 150 lakh. The agreement was, however, entered into on when the stamp duty value was ` 140 lakh. Mr. Hari had received a down payment of ` 15 lakh by cheque from Rajesh on the date of agreement. Discuss the tax implications in the hands of Hari and Rajesh, assuming that Mr. Hari has purchased the building for ` 75 lakh on 12th July, Would your answer be different if Hari was a share broker instead of a property dealer? Solution Case 1: Tax implications if Mr. Hari is a property dealer In the hands of Mr. Hari In the hands of Hari, the provisions of section 43CA would be attracted, since the building represents his stock-in-trade and he has transferred the same for a consideration less than the stamp duty value on the date of agreement.

In the hands of Mr. Rajesh Since Mr. Rajesh is a dealer in automobile spare parts, the building purchased would be a capital asset in his hands. The provisions of section 56(2)(vii) would be attracted in the hands of Mr. Rajesh who has received immovable property, being a capital asset, for inadequate consideration. Therefore, ` 50 lakh, being the difference between the stamp duty value of the property (i.e., ` 140 lakh) and the actual consideration (i.e., ` 90 lakh) would be taxable under section 56(2)(vii) in the hands of Mr. Rajesh. Case 2: Tax implications if Mr. Hari is a stock broker In the hands of Mr. Hari In the hands of Mr. Rajesh In case Mr. Hari is a share broker and not a property There would be no difference in the taxability in the dealer, the building would represent his capital asset hands of Mr. Rajesh, whether Mr. Hari is a property and not stock-in-trade. In such a case, the provisions dealer or a stock broker. of section 50C would be attracted in the hands of Mr. Therefore, the provisions of section 56(2)(vii) would Hari and ` 75 lakh, being the difference between be attracted in the hands of Mr. Rajesh who has the stamp duty value on the date of registration received immovable property, being a capital asset, (i.e., ` 150 lakh) and the purchase price (i.e., ` 75 for inadequate consideration. Therefore, ` 50 lakh, lakh) would be chargeable as short-term capital being the difference between the stamp duty value of gains. the property (i.e., ` 140 lakh) and the actual It may be noted that under section 50C, there is no consideration (i.e., ` 90 lakh) would be taxable under option to adopt the stamp duty value on the date of section 56(2)(vii) in the hands of Mr. Rajesh. agreement, even if the date of agreement is different from the date of registration and part of the consideration has been received on or before the date of agreement otherwise than by way of cash.

Since Mrs. Sweety is carrying jewellery business and it has been mentioned that the jewellery were subsequently sold in the course of her business, such jewellery represent the stock-in-trade of Mrs. Sweety.

16 Taxability of Gift 106 EXAMINATION QUESTIONS PCC MAY 2012 Question 1 (1 Marks) State whether the following are chargeable to tax and the amount liable to tax. A sum of `1,20,000 was received as gift from non-relatives by Raj on the occasion of the marriage of his son Pravin. Answer: As per section 56, if any gift has been received on the occasion of marriage, it will be exempt from income tax but if gift has been received by the parents of the person getting married, such gift shall be taxable hence in this case gift received by Mr. Raj is taxable because marriage is that of his son Pravin. IPCC MAY 2011 Question 7 (4 Marks) The following details have been furnished by Mrs. Hemali, pertaining to the year ended : (i) Cash gift of `51,000 received from her friend on the occasion of her Shastiaptha Poorthi, a wedding function celebrated on her husband completing 60 years of age. This was also her 25 th wedding anniversary. (ii) On the above occasion, a diamond necklace worth `2 lacs was presented by her sister living in Dubai. (iii) When she celebrated her daughter s wedding on , her friend assigned in Mrs. Hemali s favour, a fixed deposit held by the said friend in a scheduled bank; the value of the fixed deposit and the accrued interest on the said date was `51,000. Compute the income, if any, assessable as income from other sources. Answer: (i) Any sum of money received by an individual on the occasion of the marriage of the individual is exempt. This provision is, however, not applicable to a cash gift received during a wedding function celebrated on completion of 60 years of age. The gift of `51,000 received from a non-relative is, therefore, chargeable to tax under section 56 in the hands of Mrs. Hemali. (ii) The provisions of section 56 are not attracted in respect of any sum of money or property received from a relative. Thus, the gift of diamond necklace received from her sister is not taxable under section 56, even though jewellery falls within the definition of property. (iii) To be exempt from applicability of section 56, the property should be received on the occasion of the marriage of the individual, not that of the individual s son or daughter. Therefore, this exemption provision is not attracted in this case. Any sum of money received without consideration by an individual is chargeable to tax under section 56, if the aggregate value exceeds `50,000 in a year. Sum of money has, however, not been defined under section 56.

17 Taxability of Gift 107 Therefore, there are two possible views in respect of the value of fixed deposit assigned in favour of Mrs. Hemali (1)The first view is that fixed deposit does not fall within the meaning of sum of money and therefore, the provisions of section 56 are not attracted. Fixed deposit is also not included in the definition of property. (2) However, another possible view is that fixed deposit assigned in favour of Mrs. Hemali falls within the meaning of sum of money received. Income assessable as Income from other sources If the first view is taken, the total amount chargeable to tax as Income from other sources would be `51,000, being cash gift received from a friend on her Shastiaptha Poorthi. As per the second view, the provisions of section 56 would be attracted in respect of the fixed deposit assigned and the Income from other sources of Mrs. Hemali would be `1,02,000 (`51,000 + `51,000). PE-II NOV 2008 Question 2 (6 Marks) Check the taxability of the following gifts received by Mrs. Rashmi during the previous year and compute the taxable income from gifts for Assessment Year : (i) On the occasion of her marriage on , she has received `90,000 as gift out of which `70,000 are from relatives and balance from friends. (ii) On , she has received gift of `18,000 from cousin of her mother. (iii) A cell phone of `21,000 is gifted by her employer on (iv) She gets a gift of `25,000 from the elder brother of her husband's grandfather on (v) She has received a gift of `2,000 from her friend on (Modified) Answer: Computation of taxable income of Mrs. Rashmi from gifts for A.Y Particulars Taxable amount Reason for taxability or ` otherwise of each gift Relatives and friends Nil Gifts received on the occasion of marriage are not taxable. Cousin of Mrs. Rashmi s mother 18,000 Cousin of Mrs. Rashmi s mother is not a relative. Hence, the gift is taxable. Elder brother of husband s grandfather 25,000 Brother of husband s grandfather is not a relative. Hence, the gift is taxable. Friend 2,000 Gift from friend is taxable. Aggregate value of gifts 45,000 Since the aggregate value of gifts received by Mrs. Rashmi during the previous year does not exceed `50,000, the same is not chargeable to tax under section 56 of the Income-Tax Act, 1961.

18 Taxability of Gift 108 Gift received from the employer in kind upto `5,000 is exempt from income tax but excess over it is taxable hence in this case taxable amount of gift shall be `16,000 (21,000 5,000) and it will be taxable under the head Salary. PE-II MAY 2008 Question 3 Choose the correct answer with reference to the provisions of the Income-tax Act, 1961: (1 Marks) Rakesh received `70,000 from his friend on the occasion of his birthday. (a) The entire amount of `70,000 is taxable (b) `25,000 is taxable (c) The entire amount is exempt (d) None of the above. Answer: (a) The entire amount of `70,000 is taxable.
