The dispute in the present appeal is confined to the disallowance of deduction claimed under section 54/54F of the Income-tax Act, 1961 from the facts on record it is clear that according to the Departmental Authorities, the flat transferred being a residential property, the assessee can claim deduction only under section 54 of the Act. If that is the case, the deduction claimed by the assessee should have been allowed under the correct provision. Merely because the assessee has claimed deduction under section 54F of the Act, by treating the flat as a commercial property, assessee's claim of deduction under section 54 of the Act cannot be disallowed if the assessee fulfills the conditions of section 54 of the Act. In the facts of the present case, the Departmental Authorities have no doubt that the flat transferred by the assessee is a residential flat and on re-development the assessee has also received a residential flat. That being the case, the assessee is certainly entitled for deduction under section 54 of the Act. Merely because the assessee claimed a deduction under the wrong provision, his claim cannot be disallowed if it is allowable under a different provision.

Section 54 of the Income Tax Act, 1961—Capital gain — Merely because the assessee has claimed deduction under section 54F by treating the flat as a commercial property, assessee's claim of deduction under section 54 cannot be disallowed if the assessee fulfills the conditions of section 54. Merely because the assessee claimed a deduction under the wrong provision, his claim cannot be disallowed if it is allowable under a different provision. Thus, while admitting the additional ground raised by the assessee being purely a legal ground which can be decided without requiring investigation into fresh facts, the Assessing Officer was directed to allow assessee's claim of deduction under section 54 in respect of the second flat — SATISH S. PRABHU Vs. ASSTT. CIT [2020] 181 ITD 63 (ITAT-MUMBAI)
