High Courts Grant Relief in Income Tax Disputes Over Capital Gains Claims
Two recent Income Tax disputes highlight challenges in capital gains claims. In Telangana, Mr. Mettu was initially denied Section 54F exemption due to a four-year villa construction delay caused by a builder-landowner dispute; the Telangana High Court granted relief, ruling taxpayers shouldn't suffer for builder faults. Separately, in Gujarat, the High Court ruled in favor of late Smt. Trivedi's family after a nine-year fight over land valuation discrepancies affecting long-term capital gains tax, with Section 55A(a) cited in her defense.
