As per section 46(1), where the assets of a company are distributed to its shareholder on its liquidation, such distribution shall not be regarded as a transfer by the company. Therefore, there will be no capital gain to the company. However, where a shareholder on the liquidation of a company, receives any money or other asset from the company in lieu of the shares held by him, such a shareholder shall be chargeable to income-tax under the head 'Capital gains' in respect of the money and the asset so received. In this case, the consideration price for capital gain purposes shall be money received and/or the market value of the other assets on the date of distribution.
