Section 48 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 — Capital gains — In the case of assessee, there was no diversion of sale proceeds by overriding title, but on the contrary, there is only a mere application of the sale proceeds realised on sale of plots towards the discharge of outstanding loan liability of the assessee, therefore, assessee cannot claim any part of such application as deduction for the purpose of computing Capital Gain in terms of Section 48. Consideration from sale of property to the extent of principal component of loan adjusted by the bank cannot be treated as 'diversion of income by overriding title' and was thus not deductible from the total consideration accrued to the assessee from sale of property — Perfect Thread Mills Ltd. vs Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax [2020] 77 ITR [Trib] 603 (MUM)
