Dear Sir,
I am not able to understand your question. Why do you need to show purchase of property in your income tax return?
Please rephrase your question as to what is your exact query.
I have bought a residential flat in equal joint name of me and my wife (50-50%) of total value around 51.5 lakh including registration charges and stamp duty, which was booked in year 2010 but registration done this year 2016, but most of payment i.e. 50.5 lakh has been done from my bank account and only Rs. One lakh from my wife account. I am showing Rs. 50.5 Lakh payment in my IT return and Rs. One lakh in my wife return, but we both are equal owners (50-50) in registration done this year. Please advice in this matter, whether i can show 50.5 Lakh payment done by me in my IT return and Rs.One Lakh in wife's IT return, as only One lakh was paid from her bank account, even while she is 50% owner. Secondly We had booked the above flat in year 2010 at a total value of Rs.45 lakhs vide booking agreement and advance cheque payment, but the registration done this year 2016, of the flat was done as per present circle rate at a total amount of Rs.68 lakhs and stamp duty taken on this amount. Since the circle rate when we had booked the flat in 2010 was 45lakh only. Please tell how to deal with this situation as there is huge difference between booking rate @ 45Lakh and registration rate @ 68lakhs, and what to show in my IT return I shall be grateful for your kind reply. my email is abhi150875@gmail.com
Dear Sir,
I am not able to understand your question. Why do you need to show purchase of property in your income tax return?
Please rephrase your question as to what is your exact query.
Sir there are many case laws which says that if at the time of Agreement the assessee has paid the amount by Account Payee Cheques then the rate at the time of Agreement can be considered but that need to be clarified as many officers today also dont understand the same and need to go for appeal in which our concern can be taken care of.
Or else the difference is taxable
My question is that in year 2010 I had booked a flat via agreement for total amount of Rs. 5100000, in equal name of me and my wife 50 - 50 %. But full payment of flat was given from my account and is shown in my balance sheet only and not my wife balance sheet. Is it compulsory to show in wife balance sheet also, since she is 50percent owner of flat, but only one lakh payment was given by her account. Secondly on registration of property in 2016 the registration value was 68 lakh, which is 17 lakh more then the booking value of 51lakh in 2010, due to increase in circle value from 2010 to 2016. What to do in this situation. Do I have to pay tax on difference between booking value and registration value of flat. Please reply . Thanks
No, you don't have to pay tax on the difference between booking value and registered value.
You can show it in your balance sheet. You don't need to show it in your wife's account. Treat that 100000 RS. as a loan or gift from your wife to you.
Please feel free to call/revert in case of any doubts

Sir you can file the returns by showing 51 Lakhs. Any how a notice will come and then you can quote the following to defend your case.
In case where the date of Agreement fixing the amount of consideration for transfer of immovable property and the date of registration are not the same , the stamp duty value on the date of Agreement may be taken for the purpose of computing the full value of consideration.
This provision shall apply only in case where the amount of consideration has been paid by way of an account payee cheque or account payee bank draft or online transfer on or before the date of agreement for the transfer of such immovable property.
https://www.taxmann.com/Budget-2016-17/budget/.
This shall apply only in a case where the amount of consideration or part thereof has been received by any mode other than cash on or before the date of agreement for the transfer of property.
Dear sir,
- Yes property will be show equally in both the accounts
- Sir in case the stamp value is more than value of property than for the purpose of tax computation only you need to consider higher value by the seller. Since you are the buyer of flat you will not have any consequences.
Hi,
The asset has to be shown in both your and your wife's Balance Sheet.
Regarding additional amount paid for the property, you need not pay any Income Tax as you are the buyer. Seller has to pay Income Tax.
However, since the value of the property is exceeding Rs. 50 Lakhs, you will have to deduct TDS @ 1%
Hello Sir,
Is it mentioned in your agreement that your wife holds 50% share in the property, if that is the case then the property has to be split between you both but if the percentage is not specifically mentioned, then you may avoid showing it in both the balance sheet at equal figures and just show it at the amount paid for.
Secondly the difference between the Circle rate and the allotment value. Now this is a litigative issue since the ITO knows nothing and always thinks from the revenue point of view. SO do not even waste your time making him understand your case, simply ask him to pass an order and file an appeal. That is where you will be able to prove your point and need not pay the taxes on the differential amount.

My question is that the flat was registered in 50-50 % name of my wife and me, but out of total flat value of 51lakh, Only one lakh was paid from my wife account and 50 lakh from my account. Please tell how to show the flat in my balance sheet and my wife balance sheet.
You can show it completely in your balance sheet. You don't need to show it in your wife's account. Treat that 100000 RS. as a loan from your wife to you.

Dear Sir,
Irrespective of amount of payment made if the ownership on document is 50% - 50% than you have to disclose the same in the balancesheet as 50% - 50% value only i.e. 25.50 Lacs ine ach balancesheet and accordingly taxability will be decided.
Sir in that case you can show that 1 lakh paid by your wife is being given as loan to you and in your Balance Sheet you can declare the same. If you have more queries you can call us to get clear and full understanding.
The Flat has to be shown in both the balance sheet at equal figure and the difference has to be shown as a loan.

If I show the full flat value of 51lakh in my balance sheet, as only one lakh has been paid from my wife account, which I can treat as loan. But she is shown 50-50%ownership in registration of flat. Can I show it only in my balance sheet and not my wife balance sheet. Will it be wrong . What implication it can have in future. Please answer
Dear Sir,
You can do the same by providing that entry you clear your intention that your wife is just owner on documents and not real owner and all the income arising from the same shall be subject to taxable to you only in the future.
Sir can you please send the copy of sale deed on mail modani005@gmail.com.
You can show it only in your Balance Sheet. It will not be wrong.
I want to ask , I am doing Crane service business by providing service with my Cranes.i have sold one very old depreciable crane 10 years old whose book value is now 4.5 lakh at cost of 25lakhs. Please tell me how will I show this income as business income or capital gains, and how much tax is applicable on this sale. Can I file return by treating this sale amount of 25lakh under 44AD. Can I show expenses such as salary, bad debts, and other expenses of my business from this sale amount of 25lakh. Please answer.
Dear Sir,
It will be short term capital gain on sale of asset. Tax shall be as per the routine tax slab only.
No this amount can not be covered u/s 44AD
What is the rate of tax and how much tax I have to pay for above sale. Can I account for expenses like salary, bad debts, and other business expenses from this sale amount. Please answer
Also I wish to mention that the above crane is more then 10years old in my balance sheet. Isn't it long term capital gain?
no expenses can be claim against capital gain except expenses for transfer of asset.
since you were claiming depreciation on the asset it always classify as short term capital gain.
Hi,
As per Section 50 of Income Tax Act, Sale of Depreciable Assets on which Depreciation is claimed will be deemed to be Short-Term Capital Gain in any of the 2 scenarios below
1) The sale consideration is more than the aggregate of the cost incurred in relation to sale of the asset, opening block of assets and any new additions to the block of assets: or
2) The block of assets ceases to exist
You cannot show this amount under 44AD as this is not a business income. However, if your total business turnover is below Rs. 2 Crores and none of the scenarios mentioned in Section 50 is satisfied, then you can offer your total business turnover under Section 44AD and you need not show this sale of asset separately.
First of all please let us know whether you have any more assets in that block or that block of assets ceases to exist.
If you still have value in that block, you don't need to show the capital gain amount in your tax return
However, if block ceases to exist or sale value of crane is more than the balance in that block, then it will be treated as short term capital gain and you have to pay tax as per the slab rate. You can't show it u/s 44AD.
Please feel free to call/revert in case of any doubts

You can treat it as depreciable assets. But you cannot claim any expenditure from the same as said in your last query.
First need to check how you are treating crane whether fixed assets or current assets
I am doing Crane Service Business by providing crane service with my cranes. I have three cranes, which are more then 10years old, of total Book value 9lakhs. Out of which I have sold one crane of book value 3lakhs at a price of 25lakhs in F.Y. 2016-17 I want to ask 1) Can I treat this sale amount of Rupees 25lakhs as my business income and hence adjust other business expenses of salaries, bad debts, interest, etc from this income from sale of Crane, as I do not have any other income in the F.Y. 2016-17. 2) Is it a capital gain, if yes then what amount of tax is payable on the sale amount of Rs.25 lakhs. can i adjust bad debts, other business expenses from this, as there in no other income in my business in this year 3) Can I invest 1.5 lakhs under 80C from this sale amount received. 4) Can I file return us 44AD and show 8% income from the sale amount of Rupees 25lakhs. Please answer the above, what will be the best step to be taken by me, so that minimum amount is taxable.
1) No sir not possible
2) yea it's capital gain no expenses allowable. however any business loss in current year can be adjusted against it.
3) yes you can invest and claim benefit of section 80C
4) No for capital gain you can not file 44AD.
5) beat step. Show it as capital gain and adjust it against business loss of current year.
Dear Sir,
1. No sir, you can't treat it as business income.
2) it's short term capital gain and no expenses can be adjusted against it except selling expenses incurred if any.
3) yes you can invest.
4) No
5) you have to show it as short term capital gain and you can adjust it against any business loss of current year.

Sir, at the time of computation only it will get adjusted in computation.
You just need to mention details of capital gain and business loss in return.
Also deduction shall automatically applied to the same while final computation upon filling details under section 80C.
Hello Sir,
As the crane was your business asset, then it shall in all cases be considered as a Short Term Capital Gain.

3.Yes, you can very well invest and claim benefit u/s 80C.

Sir I want to ask that i have long term capital loss around 6 lakhs and some short term capital gain around 2lakh and no other income in F.Y. 2015-16. I also have some property in my balance sheet . I have not filed return for F.Y. 2015-16. I want to ask that do I have to file return for F.Y. 2015-16 since I have no other income in that year and only net loss from share trading. Also I do not wish to carry forward long term share loss next year. Secondly if I do not file return for F.Y. 2015-16 can I file return in future F.Y. 2016-17 when I have income more then 2.5lakhs in future without filing for F.Y. 2015-16. Please advice
Yes you need to file Tax Returns for FY 2015-2016. The losses cannot be carried forward as you have not filed the return within due date. The return need to be filed as you have losses.
You can file return for 2016-17 without filing for 2015-2016.
Sir Please inform that whether it is required to file return for F.Y. 2015-16 as my total income (including share profits) is less then 2.5lakh in F.Y. 2015-16 and i have long term share loss of 6lakhs and short term share profit of 2lakhs during FY. 2015-16. Also if i dont file return for F.Y. 2015-16, can i file return for F.Y. 2016-17 and other future returns when my income is more then 2.5lakhs , without filing return for F.Y. 2015-16 Please answer
sir please answer that as my total income for F.Y. 2015-16 is lesser then 2.5 lakh do i have to file IT return for the same. And if i do not file return for F.Y. 2015-16, can i file future returns when i have income more then 2.5lakhs. Also i had long term capital loss of 6lakhs and some short term capital gain of 2lakhs in F.Y. 2015-16. Please guide
In my opinion you need not to do tax audit if your total income before any deduction under chapter VI is less than 2.5 lacs.
