In the givencasebefore us also, it is not disputed that the assessee had not fulfilled the conditions prescribed under section 54 of the Act barring the deposit of the sale proceeds in the “capital gain scheme account”. Moreover, the facts reveal that the assessee had deposited the entire sale proceeds in his savings bank account maintained with nationalized bank out of which he has constructed his house. The only small lacuna assessee had made is that the assessee though had placed the entire sale proceeds in the nationalized bank he has not transferred the same in the “Capital gain scheme account”. Considering these facts of thecaseand the decisions of the Tribunal and the Hon’ble Apex Court cited above, we are of the considered view that for this small technical lapse of the assessee, the benefit of section 54 should not be denied. Section 54 of the Act is a beneficial provision and a beneficial interpretation has to be made as far as possible for giving benefit to the assessee. The assessee had proceeded to comply with the provisions of section 54 of the Act but has only made a small technical breach which we are of the considered view should not disentitle the assessee for the benefit of section 54 of the Act. Therefore, we hereby direct the learned Assessing Officer to grant the benefit of section 54 of the Act
