Calulation of net wealth:-

House property used for business (not an asset U/S-2(ea)) = nil

Motor Car = 840000

Motor Van ( Heavy goods vehicle isnot an asset U/S-2(ea)) = nil

Jeep = 354000

Cash in hand (in excess of 50000/-) = 300000

Jewellery (assumed as not held as a stock in trade) = 1560000

Urban House (taxable only when power to revoke arises u/s 4(5)) = 1410000

Total =4464000

less : Exemption (u/s-5 (vi))(assuming as house is not exceeding

500 sq.m) = (1410000)

Net Wealth = 3054000

As the niece died on 14th March 2011 i.e before 31st march 2011, the transfer became revocable and hence is to be included in the Net Wealth computation subject to exemption u/s 5(vi), as correctly demonstrated by Mr.VIJAY.

S. Vijay Narendraji should have included Motor Van as taxable asset,

as the definition of Motor Car u/s 2(ea) includes motor car defined in Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, which includes Jeep and Motor Van.

@ Ravikant

As I m not concerned abt Motor vehicle Act at all..

since I mentioned a note that for wealth tax purpose heavy goods vehicle will not b included in the net wealth. Hence if Motor van is not a part of heavy goods vehicle .Then it will b taxable .

so here ur objection is correct.

thanks Mr.Ravikant to giving this information.

But i wants 2 say one more thing 2 all of u that in exams in these type of circumstances ASSUMPTION plays a very important role 2 avoid the examiner from deducting ur marks.....So plz mention a note in exam.

any other views r welcomed.
