2) D is to admitted in the firm.
3) The existing partners agree to revalue the assets of
the firm.The FA of the firm were revalued and the revaluation was credited in the accounts of the original 3 partners.
4) Now, A retires from the firm.

Whether on facts of the case, the capital withdrawn by A will be taxable in the hands of Mr. A as it includes the enhanced value due to revaluation of assets?
