Purchase Of New House Without NOC From AO Within 2 years: ITAT Allows Capital Gain Exemption

Live Law  

The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, Delhi Bench has held that the capital gain exemption is allowable even when the amount invested in a capital gain account is utilised for the purchase of a new house without a NOC from AO within 2 years. The assessee has derived income from house property, capital gains, and income from other sources. The AO observed that the capital gain account had been closed without the approval of the Assessing Officer. Hence, the observation of CIT that the assessee is not eligible for a claim of exemption under sections 54 and 54F is against the provisions of the Income Tax Act.
