Due to a delayed registry, the NRI home buyer is granted relief from paying income tax on the imposed income of Rs 40.45 lakh.

Due to a delayed registry, the NRI home buyer is granted relief from paying income tax on the imposed income of Rs 40.45 lakh.

The Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) recently issued a ruling on January 8, 2024, granting relief to a non-resident Indian (NRI). The NRI was subjected to an imposed income of Rs 40.45 lakh by the Income Tax Assessing Officer (AO). The individual had acquired a flat in West Mumbai back in 2010 for Rs 1.82 crore, with the stamp duty amounting to Rs 1.4 crore at the time. However, when the flat was registered in 2013, the stamp duty value had increased to Rs 2.2245 crore.

The Delhi bench of the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) has exempted a non-resident Indian (NRI) from tax obligations in a case concerning the underpayment of stamp duty related to the purchase of a flat in Mumbai. The payment period was extended over three years. The assessing officer (AO) had increased the individual’s income by Rs 40.45 lakh, alleging underpayment of stamp duty, leading to additional tax liability.

Shyamkumar Madhavdas Chugh, residing in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates (UAE), bought a flat in West Mumbai for Rs 1.82 crore, with the sale agreement executed on June 21, 2010. Payment for the flat commenced on June 17, 2010, extending over three years until August 14, 2013. The registration of the flat was completed on August 13, 2013.

AO pursues income tax upon the individual’s flat purchase.
