ITAT Grants Tax Relief in Two Property Sale Disputes in Ahmedabad and Chennai
Two taxpayers in India won Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) cases challenging tax department notices. Mr. Patel from Ahmedabad successfully claimed exemption under Section 54B for agricultural land sale by proving continuous agricultural use with Google Earth and revenue records. Meanwhile, Mr. Pragalanadane from Chennai received relief under Section 50C after ITAT ruled that an unregistered earlier agreement to sell did not invalidate the declared sale consideration, despite a higher stamp duty value. Both rulings highlight legal nuances in property sale taxation.
