Sec 54 of the Income tax Act

This query is : Resolved 

20 December 2008 Dear All:

Kindly enlighten on the following.

One of my client has sold his property and has constructed another property in his wife name. ITO proposes to disallow exemption on capital gains on the ground that newly purchased property is not in his name rather it is in Wife's name.

I have told assessing office that as per Benami Prohibitions Act 1988 Sec 3(2)purchase of property by husband in the name of wife is permissible.

Is there any settle case laws on this issue

20 December 2008 Pl read Third ITO Vs. S.Varadarajan(1989) 33 TTJ (Mad)466 .Decision is exemption u/s 54 should not be denied on the technical ground that the reinvestment was not in the name of the assessee.
