The   following   question   of   law   will   arise   in   the <\/p>\n<p>    appeal filed by the Revenue under Section 260-A of the Income Tax <\/p>\n<p>    Act, 1961 :\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>              &#8220;Whether the assessee&#8217;s claim of computation of long term<br \/>\n              capital   gains   on   the   sale   of   shares,   other   than   the   bonus <\/p>\n<p>              shares  of Infosys Technologies,  after giving the benefit of<br \/>\n              indexation   is   in   consonance   with   the   proviso   to   Section<br \/>\n              112(1) and the other provisions of the Act?&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>    2.        The question of law has been reframed during the course of <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                                ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 15:48:51 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    the   hearing   of   the   appeal   since   the   question   as   formulated   by   the <\/p>\n<p>    Revenue was lacking in clarity.\n<\/p>\n<p>    3.          The appeal arises out of an order passed by the Income Tax <\/p>\n<p>    Appellate Tribunal on 5th  September, 2008.   The Assessment Year is <\/p>\n<p>    2001-02.     In   the   present   case   the   assessee   entered   into   eight   sale <\/p>\n<p>    transactions   involving   the   shares   of   four   companies.       Of   the   sale <\/p>\n<p>    transactions, the  shares of Infosys Technologies comprised entirely of <\/p>\n<p>    bonus shares where the cost of acquisition was nil.  The bonus shares <\/p>\n<p>    of   Infosys   Technologies   were   sold   for   a   consideration   of   Rs.6.13 <\/p>\n<p>    Crores.       There   being   no  cost   of   acquisition,   the   long   term   capital <\/p>\n<p>    gains were computed at Rs.6.13 Crores.  Out of the remaining seven <\/p>\n<p>    transactions one sale resulted in a long term capital gain of Rs.9.47 <\/p>\n<p>    lacs   with   indexation   whereas   in   the   remaining   transactions   the <\/p>\n<p>    assessee   reported   a   loss   of   Rs.2.78   Crores   with   indexation.     The <\/p>\n<p>    assessee set off the long term capital loss of Rs.2.68 Crores from the <\/p>\n<p>    long term capital gains of Rs.6.13 Crores and paid a tax of 10% on the <\/p>\n<p>    net long term capital gain of Rs.3.45 Crores.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                                 ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 15:48:51 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    4.          The Assessing Officer adopted the sale price realized from <\/p>\n<p>    the shares sold by the assessee of Rs.7.51 Crores and after deducting <\/p>\n<p>    the cost of acquisition of shares of Rs.3.16 Crores, assessed the long <\/p>\n<p>    term   capital   gains   without   indexation   at   Rs.4.34   Crores.     In   other <\/p>\n<p>    words, what the Assessing Officer did in effect was to deny the benefit <\/p>\n<p>    of   indexation   to   the   assessee   while   giving   effect   to   the   proviso   to <\/p>\n<p>    Section   112(1).     The   appeal   against   the   Assessment   Order   on   this <\/p>\n<p>    issue failed before the  CIT(A).  The Tribunal came to the conclusion <\/p>\n<p>    that shares transferred on every occasion constitute a separate capital <\/p>\n<p>    asset as provided in Section 48.   Moreover,   the Tribunal held that <\/p>\n<p>    merely because the assessee had not claimed indexation on the sale of <\/p>\n<p>    its   bonus   shares   of   Infosys   Technologies,   the   Revenue   was   not <\/p>\n<p>    justified in denying the benefit of indexation on the sale of shares of <\/p>\n<p>    other companies to the assessee.  The conclusion of the Tribunal was <\/p>\n<p>    that the assessee&#8217;s claim of computation of long term capital gains on <\/p>\n<p>    the   sale   of   shares,   other   than   the   bonus   shares   of   Infosys <\/p>\n<p>    Technologies, after giving the benefit of indexation was in consonance <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                                 ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 15:48:51 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                               4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    with the proviso to Section 112(1) and the other provisions of the Act <\/p>\n<p>    and   that   accordingly   the   assessee   was   assessable   to   net   long   term <\/p>\n<p>    capital gains computed at Rs.3.45 Crores as returned.     The appeal <\/p>\n<p>    filed by the assessee on the aforesaid ground was allowed.\n<\/p>\n<p>    5.          Counsel   appearing   on  behalf  of  the  Revenue  has  assailed <\/p>\n<p>    the finding of the Tribunal by submitting that the Assessing Officer <\/p>\n<p>    was justified in denying to the assessee the benefit of indexation and <\/p>\n<p>    in computing the long term capital gain by deducting from the total <\/p>\n<p>    sale price of the listed securities (Rs.7.51 Crores) the absolute cost of <\/p>\n<p>    acquisition (Rs.3.16 Crores) thereby resulting in a net gain of Rs.4.34 <\/p>\n<p>    Crores.\n<\/p>\n<p>    6.          Section 45(1) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 stipulates that <\/p>\n<p>    any profits or gains arising from the transfer of a capital asset effected <\/p>\n<p>    in the previous year shall, save as provided in certain specific sections <\/p>\n<p>    referred   to   therein,   be   chargeable   to   income   tax   under   the   head <\/p>\n<p>    &#8216;capital gains&#8217;, and shall be deemed to be the income of the previous <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                               ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 15:48:51 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    year in which the transfer took place.  For the purpose of sub section <\/p>\n<p>    (1) of Section 45 the capital gains on the transfer of each capital asset <\/p>\n<p>    have   to   be   computed   separately.     Section   48   provides   for   the <\/p>\n<p>    computation   of   income   chargeable   under   the   head   &#8216;capital   gains&#8217;.\n<\/p>\n<p>    The marginal note to Section  48 is entitled &#8216;mode  of computation&#8217;.\n<\/p>\n<p>    Section 48 stipulates that income chargeable under the head &#8216;capital <\/p>\n<p>    gains&#8217;   shall   be   computed   by   deducting     from   the   full   value   of   the <\/p>\n<p>    consideration received or accruing   as a result of the transfer of the <\/p>\n<p>    capital   asset   the   following   amounts,   viz.   (i)   Expenditure   incurred <\/p>\n<p>    wholly and exclusively in connection with such transfer; and (ii) The <\/p>\n<p>    cost   of   acquisition   of   the   asset   and   the   cost   of   any   improvement <\/p>\n<p>    thereto.     The   second   proviso   is  to   the   effect   that   where   long   term <\/p>\n<p>    capital gains arise from the transfer of a long term capital asset (other <\/p>\n<p>    than capital gain arising  to a non resident from the transfer of shares <\/p>\n<p>    or   debentures   of   an   Indian   company)   the   provisions   of   Clause   (ii) <\/p>\n<p>    shall have effect as if for the words &#8220;cost of acquisition&#8221; and &#8220;cost of <\/p>\n<p>    any   improvement&#8221;,   the   words   &#8220;indexed   cost   of   acquisition&#8221;   and <\/p>\n<p>    &#8220;indexed   cost   of   any   improvement&#8221;   have   respectively   been <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                                 ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 15:48:51 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                          6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    substituted.      The indexed cost  of acquisition  is computed so as to <\/p>\n<p>    bring the actual cost of acquisition in line with the cost of inflation <\/p>\n<p>    index.    Section  70 provides for  the set off of loss  from  one source <\/p>\n<p>    against income from another source under the same head of income.\n<\/p>\n<p>    Prior to its substitution with effect from 1st April, 2003 by the Finance <\/p>\n<p>    Act of 2002, Section 70 provided that save as otherwise provided in <\/p>\n<p>    the   Act, where the net result for any Assessment Year in respect of <\/p>\n<p>    any source falling under any head of income is a loss, the assessee <\/p>\n<p>    shall be entitled to have the amount of such loss set off against his <\/p>\n<p>    income from any other source under the same head.\n<\/p>\n<p>    7.        In   consonance   with   the   provisions   of   Section   70,   the <\/p>\n<p>    assessee in the present case was entitled to set off the loss sustained <\/p>\n<p>    on the sale of shares which constitute a long term capital asset against <\/p>\n<p>    the capital gains which were realized from the sale inter alia of the <\/p>\n<p>    bonus shares of Infosys Technologies.   The net capital gain reported <\/p>\n<p>    by the assessee after carrying out that exercise was Rs.3.45 Crores.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                         ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 15:48:51 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                               7<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    8.          Section 112 of the Act provides that where the total income <\/p>\n<p>    of an assessee includes any income, arising from the transfer of a long <\/p>\n<p>    term   capital   asset,   which   is   chargeable   under   the   head   of   &#8216;capital <\/p>\n<p>    gains&#8217;, the tax payable by the assessee on the total income shall in the <\/p>\n<p>    case of an individual or a Hindu Undivided Family, being a resident, <\/p>\n<p>    be the aggregate of (i) the amount of income tax payable on the total <\/p>\n<p>    income as reduced by the amount of such long term capital gains, had <\/p>\n<p>    the  total income  as  so  reduced  been  his  total  income;   and (ii)  the <\/p>\n<p>    amount of income tax calculated on such long term capital gains at <\/p>\n<p>    the rate of 20%.  The proviso to Section 112 states that &#8220;where the tax <\/p>\n<p>    payable in respect of any income arising from the transfer of a long <\/p>\n<p>    term capital asset, being listed securities or unit or zero  coupon  bond <\/p>\n<p>    exceeds 10% of the amount of capital gains before giving effect to the <\/p>\n<p>    provisions of the second proviso to Section 48, then such excess shall <\/p>\n<p>    be   ignored   for   the   purpose   of   computing   the   tax   payable   by   the <\/p>\n<p>    assessee.   Section 112 forms a part of Chapter 12 of the Act which <\/p>\n<p>    deals with the determination of  tax in certain special cases.  Section <\/p>\n<p>    112 provides for a tax on long term capital gains.  Ordinarily, under <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                               ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 15:48:51 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                  8<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    clause (a) of sub section (1) of Section 112 the income tax calculated <\/p>\n<p>    on long term capital gains is 20%.\n<\/p>\n<p>    9.           The   opening   words   of   sub   section   (1)   of   Section   112 <\/p>\n<p>    contemplate   a   situation   where   &#8220;the   total   income   of   an   assessee <\/p>\n<p>    includes any income arising from the transfer of a long term capital <\/p>\n<p>    asset&#8221;. This would be indicative of the fact that in computing  income <\/p>\n<p>    for the purposes of capital gains, the assessee would be entitled to the <\/p>\n<p>    benefit of the normal provisions of the Act inter alia in regard to a set <\/p>\n<p>    off under Section 70.  The effect of the proviso to Section 112 is that <\/p>\n<p>    in the event that the tax which is payable in respect of income arising <\/p>\n<p>    from   the   transfer   of   a   listed   security,   which   is   a   long   term   capital <\/p>\n<p>    asset, exceeds 10% of the amount of capital gains before giving effect <\/p>\n<p>    to indexation as provided in the second proviso to Section 48, the tax <\/p>\n<p>    would be liable to be capped at 10% , by ignoring the excess beyond <\/p>\n<p>    10%.\n<\/p>\n<p>    10.          The   view   point   of   the   assessee   was   that   every   transfer <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                                   ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 15:48:51 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                               9<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    constituted a separate transfer of a   capital asset on which   capital <\/p>\n<p>    gains would be required to be computed separately.   The shares of <\/p>\n<p>    Infosys   Technologies   were   sold   for   Rs.6.13   Crores   by   the   assessee.\n<\/p>\n<p>    These were bonus shares on which there was no cost of acquisition.\n<\/p>\n<p>    11.         The   assessee   was   entitled   to   indexation   by   virtue   of   the <\/p>\n<p>    second proviso to Section 48.  Moreover, in view of the provisions of <\/p>\n<p>    Section 70 the assessee was entitled to set off the loss sustained in <\/p>\n<p>    respect of one source falling under the same head of income from its <\/p>\n<p>    income against any other source under the same head.  In the present <\/p>\n<p>    case, as a matter of fact, the question of indexation in relation to the <\/p>\n<p>    shares   of   Infosys   Technologies   would   not   arise   since   the   cost   of <\/p>\n<p>    acquisition of the shares, being bonus shares was nil. Where the cost <\/p>\n<p>    of acquisition is nil, the indexed cost would necessarily be nil. While <\/p>\n<p>    computing the loss sustained in respect of the six transactions and the <\/p>\n<p>    profit sustained in one of the other transactions the assessee sought <\/p>\n<p>    indexation.   For the purposes of working out the application of the <\/p>\n<p>    proviso to Section 112, there is nothing in the section which would <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                               ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 15:48:51 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                             10<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    deprive the assessee of the indexation claimed on the sale of shares <\/p>\n<p>    where there was a resultant loss.   What the proviso to Section 112 <\/p>\n<p>    essentially requires is that where the tax payable in respect of  income <\/p>\n<p>    arising from a listed security, being a long term capital asset, exceeds <\/p>\n<p>    10% of the capital gains before indexation, then such excess beyond <\/p>\n<p>    10% is liable to be ignored.  The assessee reported a net capital gain <\/p>\n<p>    of   Rs.3.45   Crores   which   was   computed   after   setting   off   the   loss <\/p>\n<p>    sustained in the sale of shares in certain transactions relating to the <\/p>\n<p>    sale of listed securities against capital gains arising inter alia out of <\/p>\n<p>    the sale of the bonus shares of Infosys Technologies.  The proviso to <\/p>\n<p>    Section   112   requires   a   comparison   to   be     made   on   the   one   hand <\/p>\n<p>    between the tax payable in respect of income arising from the transfer <\/p>\n<p>    of  listed securities, computed at 20% with the tax payable at the rate <\/p>\n<p>    of 10% on the capital gains before giving effect to indexation.  We are <\/p>\n<p>    not dealing in the present case with a situation where the assessee <\/p>\n<p>    had acquired at a cost,  shares on the sale of which a capital gain had <\/p>\n<p>    arisen.  Were the assessee to acquire those shares on which a capital <\/p>\n<p>    gain was to arise, at a cost, then it would have been necessary for the <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                              ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 15:48:51 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                11<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    purposes   of   the   proviso   to   Section   112(1)     to   compute   the   capital <\/p>\n<p>    gains before giving effect to indexation under the second proviso to <\/p>\n<p>    Section 48.   That, however, would not arise in the facts of this case <\/p>\n<p>    inasmuch as   the bonus shares of Infosys Technologies on which the <\/p>\n<p>    assessee realized a capital gain of Rs.6.13 Crores were acquired at  no <\/p>\n<p>    cost.  There is nothing in the provisions of Section 112 which would <\/p>\n<p>    lead   to   the     acceptance   of   the   contention   of   the   Revenue   that   the <\/p>\n<p>    assessee would be entitled to a set off of the loss under Section 70, <\/p>\n<p>    but   without   the   benefit   of   indexation.       No   such   requirement   is <\/p>\n<p>    legislated upon by   Parliament either under Section 70 or in Section <\/p>\n<p>    112.  <\/p>\n<p>    12.          The fact that an assessee is entitled to a set off of the loss <\/p>\n<p>    sustained on the sale of certain shares is clarified in a circular issued <\/p>\n<p>    by   the   Central   Board   of   Direct   Taxes   on   13 th  September,   1995 <\/p>\n<p>    (Circular   721).     The   circular   notes   that   Section   112   includes   two <\/p>\n<p>    significant expressions viz. &#8220;total income&#8221; and &#8220;includes any income&#8221;.\n<\/p>\n<p>    The   circular   states   that   the   total   income   is   to   be   computed   in   the <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                                  ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 15:48:51 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                12<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    manner prescribed by the Act and the set off of a loss, in accordance <\/p>\n<p>    with the provisions of Sections 70 to 80, is a stage which is part of this <\/p>\n<p>    procedure.     The   circular   then   states   that   when   this   procedure   is <\/p>\n<p>    adopted for computing the gross total income or total income,   only <\/p>\n<p>    the amount of income after set off remains under the head as part of <\/p>\n<p>    the   gross   total   income   or   total   income.     Consequently,   only   that <\/p>\n<p>    amount   of   long   term   capital   gains   which   is   included   in   the   total <\/p>\n<p>    income would be subject to tax at a prescribed flat rate.  A subsequent <\/p>\n<p>    circular   of   the   CBDT   dated   14th  September,   1999   (Circular   779) <\/p>\n<p>    clarifies   that   &#8220;the   benefit   of   cost   inflation   index   shall   continue   as <\/p>\n<p>    before   but   where   the   tax   on   long   term   capital   gains     without <\/p>\n<p>    adjustment   of   cost   inflation   exceeds   10%,   such   excess   shall   be <\/p>\n<p>    ignored&#8221;.\n<\/p>\n<p>    13.         Both these circulars are of significance because they clearly <\/p>\n<p>    reflect the Revenue&#8217;s understanding that (i) The benefit of a set off <\/p>\n<p>    would   be   available   while   computing     the   income   arising   from   the <\/p>\n<p>    transfer of a long term capital asset, which is part of the total income <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                                 ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 15:48:51 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                 13<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    of   an   assessee;   and   (ii)   The   benefit   of   the   cost   inflation   index   or <\/p>\n<p>    indexation   would   continue   to   be   available   subject   to   the   condition <\/p>\n<p>    that where the tax on long term capital gains without adjustment for <\/p>\n<p>    indexation exceeds 10%, such excess shall be ignored.\n<\/p>\n<p>    14.          In the circumstances, we are of the view, on the balance, <\/p>\n<p>    that the Tribunal was justified in coming to the conclusion that the <\/p>\n<p>    assessee&#8217;s claim of computation of long term capital gains on the sale <\/p>\n<p>    of shares other than the bonus shares of Infosys Technologies, after <\/p>\n<p>    giving the benefit of indexation was in consonance with the proviso to <\/p>\n<p>    Section 112(1) and that the assessee was assessable to net long term <\/p>\n<p>    capital gain of Rs.3.45 Crores.  In this view of the matter, the question <\/p>\n<p>    of law as framed is answered against the Revenue and in favour of the <\/p>\n<p>    assessee.       The   appeal   shall   accordingly   stand   dismissed.     In   the <\/p>\n<p>    circumstances, there shall be no order as to costs.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                  (Dr. D.Y.Chandrachud, J.)<\/p>\n<p>                                                      (J.P.
