Any transfer of capital assets by a company to its 100% Indian subsidiary company or by a 100% subsidiary company to its 100% Indian holding company shall not be treated as capital gain under section 47(iv) / (v).


But under theses circumstances following exemption shall be withdrawn:

Where before expiry of 8 years from date of transfer of capital assets:

(a) Such capital asset is converted by transferee company into stock-in-trade.

(b) 100% relationship between holding and subsidiary company comes to end.


Result: Amount of profits and gains arising from transfer of capital assets shall deemed to be income chargeable under the head capital gains of previous year in which such transfer took place in hands of transferor company. For taxation please check image below:


NOTES:

(a) Where income of the assessee has already been completed, assessing officer has power to rectify income of the assessee before end of 4 years from end of previous year in which condition is violated [Section 155(7B)].

(b) Where exemption under section 47(iv)/(v) has not been withdrawn, cost of acquisition for transferee company shall be cost of acquisition of transferor company. If exemption under section 47(iv)/(v) has been withdrawn, cost of acquisition of transferee company, shall be actual cost for which transferee company acquired such assets.


Example :

A ltd. Acquired 100% holding interest of 40,000 shares in B ltd. For Rs. 12,00,000 on 11-11-2003. On 22-02-2014, A ltd.
