viii. The assessee further relying on the decision in the case of
Venkatswami Naidu & Co, v. CIT 35 ITR 594 (SC) contended that
other things being neutral, ownership of land is prima facie
presumed to be on capital account unless there are strong
circumstances indicating to the contrary. Therefore the onus is on
the revenue to establish that the profit earned in a transaction is
within the taxing provisions.

The Rama Co-Op L/C Society Ltd., Sonepat vs Assessee on 16 February, 2016
7.3.2 From the discussion of the learned CIT(A) in the impugned order on
this issue (supra), it is not disputed that an amount of `5,79,725/- was
received by the assessee society from the transaction of the structure on
plot No. 26 by Prakash R. Tolat and Gautam R. Tolat to Mehta & Shah.
This fact was not brought to the notice of the AO. On detection thereof, the
AO brought the said transfer fee received by the assessee to tax in the
assessee's hands. In respect of the assessee's claim that the said transfer
fee received by it was not exigible to tax based on the concept of mutuality,
we find that the learned CIT(A) on examination of the facts on the issue
rightly concluded that the concept of mutuality did not operate in this
transaction. Mehta & Shah who paid the said transfer fee were only
nominal members of the assessee society and except for the structure
purchased and occupied by them, had no voting rights or interest in the
property of the society. Following the decision of the Coordinate Bench in
the case Hatkesh Co-op Housing Society Ltd. (supra) wherein the
Coordinate Bench in a detailed order, after considering judicial
pronouncements relied on by the assessee, which were on similar facts as
those of the case on hand, we also hold that the assessee does not
represent mutual concerns and to such activities the concept of mutuality
cannot be applied. In this factual and legal matrix of the case, we concur
with the findings of the authorities below that the said 'transfer fee'
received by the assessee was to be taxed in its hands. Consequently, the
assessee's ground at S. No. 2 is dismissed.
