In 2025, India's ITAT upheld a taxpayer's lower income claim after he sold part of ancestral land and used proceeds to buy a home, rejecting a higher assessment.
In 2013, Mr. Natesan sold a portion of ancestral agricultural land for Rs 1 crore and used the proceeds to buy a residential property, claiming tax exemption under Section 54F.
He did not file an ITR that year.
In 2022, the tax department discovered the transaction, initially assessing his income at Rs 2.47 crore.
Natesan filed an ITR in November 2022 reporting income of Rs 2.45 lakh.
The tax officer disputed this, citing a total sale value of Rs 2.5 crore.
The case was resolved in Natesan’s favor by the ITAT Chennai, which accepted his claim that only a part of the land was sold and upheld the lower income figure.
