O R D E R
1. During assessment proceedings, it transpired that the assessee, vide agreement dated 17/09/2009, transferred its right in respect of a leasehold property i.e., Shop Cum Godown No.10 in Block ‘Y’ APMC Complex, Navi Mumbai for sale consideration of Rs.19.52 Lacs which was offered to tax under the head ‘Çapital Gains’. The net sale consideration received by the assessee was Rs.9 Lacs whereas the balance amount of Rs.10.52 Lacs was directly paid by the purchaser to APMC (marketing committee) on behalf of assessee.
2. At the outset, it could be noted that what the assessee has sold is leasehold rights in certain property and therefore, the provisions of Sec.50C would not be applicable to such a transaction. The provisions of Sec.50C apply in case of transfer of capital asset being land or building or both and are not applicable in case of transfer of leasehold rights in land & buildings.
3. The assessee paid interest of Rs.0.61 Lacs to the partners. The same was disallowed since the original partnership deed did not provide for payment of any such interest. The Ld. CIT(A) confirmed the stand of Ld. AO since the only income in the Profit & Loss Account was interest income. Whether interest was assessable as Business income was not established and therefore, the interest disallowance was confirmed. Aggrieved, the assessee is in further appeal before us.
4. The appeal stand partly allowed in terms of our above order. Order pronounced on 30th August, 2021.
