FAQ :

A 'deemed transfer' occurs when a specified person receives a capital asset or stock-in-trade from a specified entity due to its dissolution or reconstitution. This is treated as a transfer by the specified entity in the year of receipt.

Profits and gains from a deemed transfer are taxed as income of the specified entity in the year the assets are received, under the head 'Profits and gains of business or profession' or 'Capital gains'.

Section 45(4) states that profits or gains arising from the receipt of money or capital assets by a specified person from a specified entity in connection with its reconstitution are chargeable to income-tax as the specified entity's income under the head 'Capital gains'.

Yes, if a capital asset is received by a specified person from a specified entity due to reconstitution, the provisions of both Section 45(4) and Section 9B apply, and taxation is calculated independently for each.

Both the new Section 9B and the substituted sub-section (4) of Section 45 are applicable for the assessment year 2021-22 and subsequent assessment years.

The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) may issue guidelines, with the approval of the Central Government, to remove any difficulties in applying the provisions of Section 9B and sub-section (4) of Section 45.
