Capital asset means property of any kind held by an assesse,whether or not connected with his business or profession. However the following are not capital assets-
1.Stock in trade, raw materials
2. Personl effects
3. agricultural land in rural area
4.a few gold bonds
5.GDB under gold Deposit Scheme,1999.
Personal effects :- Any movable property held for personal use of the owner or for the use of any member of his family is not a "capital asset".
So the kidney comes under personal effects,as it is used by the owner for personal purpose.So the income from sale of kidney doesnot comes under the chargable of income tax..
As the conditions are not satisfied the income cannot be charged under the capital gain or any other head of income.Therefore income cannot be taxed.
