What is the tax liability on Corpus received from the builder in case of re-development examines Adv. R. P. Rathod.
In the Last month the Chairman of a Housing Society in the suburbs approached me on the issue of redevelopment of their society building. The proposal was received from a reputed builder and the package offered by them was very attractive says Adv. R. P. Rathod.
The builder said he would demolish parts of the building and reconstruct with more area. Further he promised the Society that he would pay Rs. 10 Crore to the society as Corpus Fund while the members would be paid Rs. 50 Lakhs individually in lieu of the same he would retain a part of the area as his profit & would construct a separate building and would sell the same.
Though the proposal was very attractive the society approached me on the issue of Taxability of the said sums in the hands of the Society and its members. They were anxious that 30% of this amount should go to the Taxman.
Adv. R. P. Rathod. advised the Chairman that if the offer is genuine & good enough they should go ahead with the deal forgetting about the taxation aspect of the same at the present moment. He rightly asserts that though Tax Planning is essential, people should not fear about taxes, If Ratan Tata would have feared about the taxes, he could not have made such a Big Empire.
Further coming to the solution Adv. R. P. Rathod. explains that the Provisions of the Income-tax Act 1961 & D.C. Regulations 1991 should be examined.
The Regulation 33(7) of the Development Control Regulations 1991 of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation, provide for the grant of additional FSI if an existing building is redeveloped. The said additional FSI can be utilized either for the extension of the existing building or for the construction of a new building or may be sold for a consideration.
Section 2(14) of the Income Tax Act 1961, defines "Capital Asset" to mean "Property of any kind", held by the assessee whether or not connected with his business or profession, but excluding 'Stock in trade'. This definition is wide enough to cover development rights within its ambit.
Further Section 45 of the Income Tax Act 1961, states that any profits and gains arising from the transfer of a Capital asset is chargeable to tax and vide Section 48, the profits and gains have to be computed by deducting from the full value of the consideration, the cost of acquisition and cost of improvement of the asset.
Though development rights are a capital asset, the moot question is whether there is a 'Cost of acquisition' attached to them.
Adv. R. P. Rathod. further points out to some of the relevant Judgments.
The leading judgments on the issue are that of the Mumbai Bench Tribunal in ITO vs. Lotia Court Co-operative Housing Society Ltd (2008) 12 DTR (Mumbai) (Tribunal) and New Shailaja CHS vs. ITO (ITAT Mumbai)
In Lotia Court Co-operative Housing Society the Society and its members entered into a development agreement with a builder pursuant to which Transferable Development Rights (TDR) entitled to be received under the Development Control Regulations was assigned to the developer for the repairs and redevelopment of the building and the construction of additional floors. The Assessing Officer sought to assess the Society on the ground that it had made Capital Gains. However, the Tribunal held that as the TDRs were owned by the flat owners individually and as no consideration for the transfer of the TDRs was received by the assessee Society nor any area in the constructed portion was allocated to the assessee Society, the Society was not chargeable to tax.
In another case of New Shailaja CHS v/s the ITO, the assessee-Society became entitled by virtue of the Development Control Regulations to Transferable Development Rights (TDR) and the same were sold by it for a price to a builder. On the question of taxability in the hands of the Society, the Tribunal noted that the Supreme Court had laid down the law in B. C. Srinivasa Setty 128 ITR 294 (SC) that if there was an asset for which a cost of acquisition was not determinable, the gains could not be assessed as 'Capital Gains'. It was accordingly held that though the TDR was a 'Capital Asset', there being no 'Cost of acquisition' for the same, the consideration could not be taxed.
The said view has also been followed in the case of Om Shanti Co-op Society vs. ITO (ITAT Mumbai). In this case, the assessee Co-op housing Society(CHS) gave permission to the developer to construct 2 floors and 8 flats on the building belonging to the Society by using the TDR/ FSI available to the developer. In consideration, the developer paid Rs. 26 lakhs to the assessee and Rs. 66 lakhs to its members aggregating Rs. 92 lakhs.
The Assessing Officer took the view that the assessee had relinquished its right "to load TDR and construct additional floors" and as there was no cost of acquisition, the entire consideration of Rs. 26 Lakhs was assessable as Long-Term Capital Gains. On appeal, the CIT (A) took the view that even the amounts received by the Members were assessable in the assessee's hands. He accordingly enhanced the assessment and directed that the consideration be taken at Rs. 92 Lakhs.
However, the Tribunal reversed the AO and CIT (A) on the ground that the assessee and its members had no right to construct additional floors on the existing building as they had exhausted the right available while constructing the flats in the building. The TDR was not obtained by the assessee and sold to the developer. It was held that the assessee had not transferred any existing right to the developer nor any cost was incurred/ suffered prior to permitting the developer to construct the additional floors. The Tribunal held that in the absence of a cost of acquisition, the judgment in B. C. Srinivasa Setty 128 ITR 294 (SC) applied and the consideration was not assessable as Capital Gains.
The taxability in the hands of the members of the Society was considered in Jethalal D. Mehta vs. DCIT (2005) 2 SOT 422 (Mum). There also, following the judgment of Apex Court in CIT vs. B.C. Srinivasa Setty 128 ITR 294 (SC), it was held that as the TDR granted by DCR, 1991 qualifying for equivalent FSI had no cost of acquisition, the sale of the same did not give rise to assessable Capital Gains.
Adv. R. P. Rathod. thus summarize the aforesaid provisions of the respective laws and the precedents of the Case Laws rests on there not being a 'Cost of Acquisition' of the development right/ FSI obtained pursuant to the Development Control Regulations 1991. In respect of the buildings that have been erected after the DC Regulations of 1991 came into force, it is a possible argument in favor of the Taxman that some part of the Cost of the building is attributable to the said Development Right/ FSI and that the principle of B. C. Srinivasa Setty does not apply, but that time is still to arrive, as of now there are very less such buildings built after 1991 which are going into re-development venture.
Hence, the facts would though vary from case to case, but if no 'Cost of Acquisition' is attributable to the development rights, the said precedent will apply and the gains arising on their transfer will not be assessable, either in the hands of the Society or in the hands of the members concludes Adv. R. P. Rathod.

Making light rail work
Updated Tuesday, 19 May, 2020 by www.railexpress.com.au
At the ARA's Light Rail 2020 conference, chief projects officer of Major Projects Canberra Duncan Edghill outlined how the Canberra Light Rail has become part of the fabric of the city.
For successful rail transport projects, looking back on a project once it is complete can reveal insights into a project that were not apparent in the busy construction phase.
For the Canberra Light Rail project this was no different, as chief projects officer of Major Transport Canberra, Duncan Edghill, highlighted in a recent speech to delegates at the Australasian Railway Association (ARA) Light Rail 2020 conference.
With stage one being the largest infrastructure project ever undertaken by the ACT government, the light rail generated an intense community discussion throughout planning and construction phases, however now in operation, the city has taken to the service with gusto. With a year now under its belt, the initial case for the project has not only been met, but exceeded.
"As an example, in the first three weeks of 2020 versus the same period in 2019 there was an increase of over 10 per cent of public transport journeys taken across the ACT," said Edghill.
"It's quite a step change."
Prior to the project, Canberra was only served by a bus network, even though trams were included in Walter Burley and Marion Mahoney Griffin's plan for Canberra. Such a change in transport infrastructure meant that the project was focused upon by the local community and businesses, meaning that every decision of the project team was on full display. In addition, the project ran along a major road artery, leading it to intersect with many residents' lives before operations began.
"When you're building light rail and it's spread out over many kilometres, everyone can see what you're doing," said Edghill. "As we move into future stages, we will need to give consideration to issues like, 'How will this shade cloth that we're putting up now look in two years?' and how do we pay attention to things like controlling weeds?"
On a commercial side, with further stages planned for the future, being delivered as a public-private partnership meant that the eyes of the infrastructure business community were also on the strip of Northborne Avenue which the light rail would run down.
"The overall commercial focus was really a genuine desire to treat the project as a partnership and to be seen as a commercial and pragmatic partner," said Edghill. "We want Canberra to be the sort of place where you can come and do business with confidence and with a reasonable partner.
"Of course, in pretty much all big projects claims arise, but a real positive for both sides here was when we get to operations we cleared the deck of any outstanding commercial matters. Given the complexities of starting a light rail system for the first time it was really important that we focus on the important thing, which is getting the operations right rather than dealing with commercial issues [after the project opened]."
Another decision made at the beginning of the project came from the political side, but was instrumental in ensuring the project's future success, said Edghill.
"The ACT government had resolved signal priorities for the light rail vehicles (LRVs) on an intersection basis. That was a decision that was taken in cabinet because it was a policy decision at the outset to provide LRVs with high levels of priority at intersections."
Combined, these decisions led to a system that, now into its second year of operating, has surpassed initial hopes.
"Business case expectations have been exceeded across the public transport network system as a whole," said Edghill. "It's proof that, when it's well thought through and well- integrated into the broader public transport network, light rail works."
PROJECT INTEGRATION KEY TO LIGHT RAIL SUCCESS
When designing and building the light rail Stage 1, the delivery partners were also able to consider the wider impact that the project would have, and how to integrate these for the best outcome for the city as a whole.
"In Canberra's case, the introduction of light rail actually led us to revisit the fundamental principles underpinning the entirety of the rest of the transport network," said Edghill. "Before light rail we had a bus network where mode share is less than what we've targeted – long circuitous bus routes, sub optimal network frequency, a few very high capacities frequent routes and then a school bus system."
In line with the opening of the light rail line from Gungahlin in the city's north to the city centre, Transport Canberra redesigned the bus network to have higher frequency services on key corridors. Edghill noted however that the process will never be without its critics.
"There are some key lessons to draw from this process; you can't begin consultation early enough, you're not going to please everyone, and you will have to make some tough decisions. There will be those who in time benefit from the system, but they're not the ones who are going to be writing letters to the editor now."
With an entirely redesigned bus network, comparing a before and after is not like for like, but Edghill is confident that the changes have had a positive impact.
"What we have seen, on an aggregate level, is public transport has risen across the network. We introduced six new high frequency bus routes at the same time light rail was introduced and the high-speed bus network has proven to be really popular."
Outside of the transport network, the impact of a light rail project on the businesses along the route has been a key concern for other projects. In Canberra this was no different, and the light rail work coincided with a number of developments along Northbourne Avenue, causing disruption to nearby business owners.
"When you're living in project world, it's really easy to focus on your own project, but from the perspective of a business owner or a shop owner they don't' distinguish between your project and another project," said Edghill. "At Gungahlin the light rail project coincided with a number of other construction projects."
DESIGN DRIVING OUTCOMES
Having weathered the impact of construction, businesses are now embracing the light rail, said Edghill. Although not a scientific study of impacts, Edghill recounted examples of tea towels, paintings, and coasters now with the light rail imprinted upon them. For those that worked on the project, these are examples of where the project has gone beyond what could be quantified in the business case.
"People ask what makes me most proud to be involved in Light Rail stage one project? Is it the patronage, which is going gangbusters, the corridor development we're seeing, is it delivering it on time and under budget? What is it that gives me the greatest satisfaction? All of these things are important of course but I think what actually struck me most is the fact that light rail has already become a shorthand for Canberra."
Edghill puts this down to the nature of the project and its commitment to good design.
"The canopies are distinct to Canberra, the artwork is bespoke at each stop, the colour palette subtly speaks to Canberra institutions, the LRV seat livery was designed by a local Indigenous artist, the dynamic lighting allows us to change the lighting to different colours in response to local events, and there's a high quality of workmanship."
While these features could be seen as optional extras, Edghill counselled that the design elements are what defines a light rail project well after construction has ended.
"We all avoided the temptation to engineer out the project's design qualities and I think that's a very important lesson," he said. "These projects obviously represent a very significant investment, and long after people stop thinking about the cost we'll be thinking about the system and ultimately smart architectural design is a small part of the overall investment."
In the end, Edghill says, the light rail project is not just about mobility.
"One of the most important things that we tried to keep in mind when embarking on the light rail project was recognising that it's not only a transport project. Yes, light rail moves people from A to B and that's undoubtedly of great importance, but just as importantly it shapes how our city looks and shapes the development of the light rail corridor.
"No matter how successful patronage will be, there will always be more people looking at the system than using it. For that reason, the final design of the system is something that is particularly relevant."
These design elements will be continued as the ACT government looks to the next stages of the light rail project. As Stage 2A progresses to the waterfront, stage 2B then continues to Woden, and with plans for further extensions on the East-West spine of the city, ensuring that the light rail project remains integrated, and well-designed will be key.
"Light rail is really about servicing the future development of the Acton waterfront and convention centre and other things that will come to the centre of Canberra in time," said Edghill.
"The project is as much about urban regeneration as it is around transport."

What if you spent years of your life seeking spiritual enlightenment, but were looking in the wrong place over a long time? It's happening right now to millions of seekers around the world.
That's why Dr. Robert Forman has written his revolutionary book. Told in often poetic prose, it offers new direction for people looking for a sane and healthy spiritual pathway in our increasingly confusing world.
Through metaphor, humor, vulnerability and achingly beautiful prose, Dr. Forman's book offers newfound hope to spiritual seekers everywhere.
I love his quirky writing style, his gentle, disarming manner and his vivid language. I admire the fearless, open honesty he displays and his willingness to embrace paradox and stay with the sweaty ambiguity. I thank him for sharing his story in such a simple and fascinating way. The book is simple and its teachings are profound. It is a gem and I highly recommend it.
Enlightenment invites you to be honest about your spiritual goals and to consider a radically different and more productive approach. Through metaphor, humour, sincerity and vulnerability, in beautifully descriptive and poetic style, this unique work offers newfound hope to spiritual seekers everywhere.
"Enlightenment ain't what it's cracked up to be" is a bone-deep description of the decades-long spiritual journey of Robert K. C. Forman, one of America's most respected spiritual teachers. If ever a book was written from the heart, this is it. It is both a summation and an update of a work in progress. Enlightenment ain't what it's cracked up to be describes the dazzling heights of spiritual awareness, but it also lays bare the twists, turns, and surprises of spiritual maturation, warts and all. Beware: If you need your spiritual guide to be serious, elevated, reserved, and pious, go elsewhere. But if you want eye-ball to eye-ball honesty, integrity, and humor supercharged with compassion, love, vulnerability, and deep wisdom, this is your book."
Some spiritual memoirs are so authentic, honest and well-told that they stir the soul. Others offer trenchant observations and wise commentary about the modern spiritual scene. This is one of the rare books that do both. Compelling, intriguing and thought-provoking, it is a graceful exposition of one man's journey, but it illuminates the path that millions are embarked upon.
This book is more than a memoir of a profoundly revealing spiritual journey. It is a deep invitation to be your authentic self--to fully own, embody and express every aspect of yourself. The honesty, openness and transparency of Roberts spiritual journey instantly captivated me. I read the book in one long, joyous sitting. I literally could not put the book down. It is illuminating, entertaining and impactful. If you re looking for guidance as to what is truly spiritual and enlightening, then read this book.
It is definitely chicken soup for the spiritual seekers soul!
What Robert Forman has learned about and accomplished in spiritual growth is inspiring. But even more than a touching personal memoir, Forman opens our thinking to new ideas of what 'enlightenment' or spiritual growth could actually be in the modern world. This is a vitally important issue: we have more to do in saving our world and our selves than learn to sit around in a cave feeling good and looking holy like the ancients did. Enlightenment ain't what it's cracked up to be is a great book.
~ Dr. Charles T. Tart, Author. States of Consciousness, and The End of Materialism: How Evidence of the Paranormal is Bringing Science and Spirit Together.
Robert K.C. Forman offers a touching, humorous, and honest account of ordinary and extraordinary spiritual events. Relevant to anyone interested in the scientific exploration of what still remains mysterious.
~ Angeles Arrien, Ph.D, , Cultural Anthropologist, Author of \"The Second Half of Life: Opening the Eight Gates of Wisdom\"
Enlightenment Ain't What It's Cracked Up To Be is a powerful breath of spiritual fresh air! It is one of the most refreshingly authentic accounts of the spiritual life I've ever read. In its clarity, honesty and depth, this book is the real deal. From the first page you are in conversation, encouraged to encounter and re-examine your own journey into how to integrate your spirituality with the rest of your life. Forman's extraordinary blend of personal courage, psychological awareness, formal cross-cultural philosophical training and direct spiritual experience is as unusual in the spiritual marketplace as it is helpful.
Robert K.C. Forman does a beautiful job of linking spiritual autobiography with discussion of what it means to be on a spiritual path and engaged in personal development. Self-revealing and extremely well-written, it takes on the hard issues of the spiritual path and treats them with wisdom. This is definitely a book that I'd buy, for it makes the case that our conventional spiritual understanding is too simple for the complex lives we now lead. Enlightenment ain't what it's cracked up to be stands head and shoulders above most other spiritual writings.

During the 1970s and 1980s, the Faculty of Law was associated with avant-garde research and teaching, which sometimes caused frictions with the mainstream of the scientific community. Since then, the Bremen subjects of those years have become central social challenges for today's legal science.
Transnationalisation of Law
This has been a research area of the Faculty of Law for some time, which has thus contributed to the linking of theoretical and practical questions. The trannationalisation of law progressing within the context of digitalisation transforms traditional approaches to the law.
Foundations of Law
From the beginning, the Faculty has placed a focus on researching philosophical, sociological and historical references of the law. These have changed over the course of time and remain subject to constant change. While empirical research dominated in the beginning, in more recent times, there has been an emphasis on legal theory and legal philosophy research, which covers a wide spectrum.
The process of digitalisation encompasses is a number of technical developments affecting essential sections of society, such as the economy and education system, politics and administration and, not least, the legal system. Data protection and data safety are central issues for a responsible organisation of the process of digitalisation.

Project A03. Worlds of Labour. Normative Standards of Employment Relationships as National and Global Patterns of Welfare State Development
Ten Bremen University scholars from three departments (Law, Social Sciences, Pedagogy and Educational Sciences) and three institutes (bigas, artec, and SOCIUM) found an interdisciplinary lab.
Research innovations need cooperation. The interdisciplinary lab, which was founded as part of the WoC (Worlds of Contradiction) will approach the topic of "Violence, Age and Gender" from a legal and social science perspective and bundle competencies. The aim is to merge national and international knowledge about the occurrence and causes of gender-specific violence and harassment in public, institutional, and private spheres in an interdisciplinary manner to derive further research questions and develop strategies to prevent violence.
A multidisciplinary team of researchers is building a research database for personal health data in Germany: NFDI4Health.The project is funded by the Federal Government and the Länder and coordinated by the German Research Foundation, initially for five years. The IGMR participates in the project as a partner.

I love this time of year when I can settle down with a good book or seed catalog, near the crackling wood burning stove. Casper (the perfect cat) nestles into my lap, my dog Sage warming my feet and wanting more attention then the cat is getting. Inside projects are getting finished that got pushed aside for several months of the year for gardening chores. I love winter months. But the real side of me is still yearning for those warmer winter days here in Southern Utah. Freezing by night and comfortable by day. These are days I gather leaves, turn compost and will be on the look out for that first narcissus to poke its leaves through the cold hard ground. Sometimes we get an early bloom at the first of January on the Southeast facing side of the house. What a welcome sight and a sweet fragrance they put off. This is the time when I take mental notes of what needs to be done, what I aspire for next year and what beauty I can add to the garden or flower beds. I watch over my fruit trees seeing what branches need to be removed due to old age or wind damage. It's time to prune the grape vines and make grape-vine wreaths with the long spindly cuttings, feed those hungry birds that depend on me for their winter food. The vegetable garden still has many living things that require watering during dry spells such as the leeks, garlic, and the greens that are under row cover. One can get so much enjoyment walking through a winter garden, you just have to look a little deeper. A garden gives so much this time of year and asks hardly nothing in return. Not much care required. A break from weeding and what seems like constant watering. With a root cellar full of a bountiful harvest from summer saying, job well done and all the fresh greens we can eat from under protective cover in the garden during the cold winter months gives us satisfaction until new spring crops. I spend much of my time in the greenhouse this time of year. It won't be long before hundreds and sometimes thousands of little pots will be sprouting there first little leaves so green and healthy. The first session of early crops were just started from seed this week such as brocoli, kohlrabi, kale and other greens. The smell of the citrus blooming while the Meyer lemons are almost ready to pick entices me to come back soon to the greenhouse. Who says winter is dull. It's only as dull as we make it. Grant it, I don't live in a very cold climate where the snow drifts make it impossible to visit the garden. I think a winter garden should have interest and a mysterious side to it.
This is such a great time to plan your next years garden. This year I will be planting only heirloom varieties in my vegetable garden and careful planning will ensure I don't miss a beat. Sketch out your garden. Include crop rotation, succession plantings, leave room to try a new variety this year, add some interest to your usual planting by adding herbs here and there. Go walk through your garden and get inspired. Plan on the best garden ever! Try new flowers in your flower garden, pop some in your veggie beds. Add veggies to your flower beds for even more interest. I love to see Tuscan Kale grown amongst pink, red or purple flowers. Eggplant is such a colorful and outstanding accent. What a better way to make an edible flower garden. I love perennials, but you can't beat some old-fashioned heirloom flowers like 'Kiss Me Over The Garden Gate" over the garden gate! Try some new long-term shrubs this spring for next years winter garden like dogwoods popped in a few places. Their beautiful red twigs on cold winter days add so much visual color to an otherwise bleak garden. Choose shrubs that have berries through the winter time like Winter Berry, Holly or Snowberry. They are great summer time fillers, but flashy winter time thrillers. Enjoy winter, embrace it, because spring, summer and hard work are just around the corner!


Ryerson's women's basketball team were pummeled 78-53 as the Windsor Lancers Friday night at the Mattamy Athletic Centre (MAC).
Windsor (4-1), who is ranked second in Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS), opened the game with an 18-4 run in the first five minutes and never looked back.
Pingue-Giles led the Rams (2-3) with 12 points. Dayana Gechkova was second with 11. Annie Sokoloff led in rebounds with seven, while also picking up seven points.
Even with the team's big loss, Pingue-Giles said she tries to do her best and lead by example.
