Income from sale of body part


This query is : Resolved 

05 January 2013 Is sale of body part is taxable?
and whether it is illigle?

If yes, then what would be the cost of sale?
n what amount will be taxable?

05 January 2013 Even though Income as defined U/s 2(24) is an inclusive definition yet certain type of income which can not be computed by applying the computational provisions are not treated as income.
.
By selling a body part the person is receiving money at one end and lossing the capacity on the other end. Here you can'y say that he is earning only. What is the net gain ? is also can not be ascertained.
.
When there is no provision for deciding such notional gain or loss in the law, it can't be taxed.
.
In short, there is no reason for getting worried when a particular Organ is donated or sold to the needy.
