Bot Summary: | The first relates to the assessee's claim for exemption under s. 5(1)(iv) of the WT Act. The assessee is the owner of the shop and claimed exemption for it under s. 5(1)(iv). After considering all the facts and circumstances of the case, we are of the opinion that this exemption should be allowed to the assessee. At one stage, there was a limitation in s. 5(1)(iv) itself that the house or the part of the house belonging to the assessee should be used for his residence. Of s. 5(1) in the WT Act, according to which one or more dwelling unit and the land appurtenant thereto belong to the assessee when the construction of such dwelling unit or units was begun on or after 1st April, 1976 is exempt for five years from the date of its completion. Clause itself refers to one house or part of the house, but there was no other limitation. The assessee is still agitated and has challenged it in her second ground. |
