Note 1: Since the above said transactions are not treated as transfer, hence, no capital gain arises.

P1: X owns 1,000 partly paid-up shares in a company. These shares have been forfeited by the company for non-payment of call money. X wants to claim Rs 8,000 (i.e., amount paid at the time of application and allotment) as short-term capital loss. Is the claim of X tenable ?

Hint: Yes. Forfeiture of shares amounts to transfer u/s 2(47). Transfer in relation to capital asset includes extinguishment of any rights therein. In the above question since X’s rights in the shares has extinguished, therefore X is entitled to claim short term capital loss of Rs 8,000. If there is a forfeiture of application money shares do not come into existence. There do not exists capital assets. Therefore no loss arises under the head capital gain.

Full vaLue of consideration 
1. Full value of consideration means amount received or receivable on transfer of capital asset. It does not mean market value. Where the consideration is received in installment in different years, the entire value of consideration is taken into account in computing capital gain since capital gain is taxable in the year of transfer. (YOC = YOT)
If consideration is received in kind, then full value of consideration is fair market value of the asset exchanged.
 
2. Section 50C. Full value of consideration in case of transfer of immovable property
Where the consideration on transfer of land or building is less than the value adopted or assessed or assessable by any stamp valuation authority for the purpose of payment of stamp duty, the value so adopted shall be deemed to be the full value of the consideration.
In other words, full value of consideration is higher of sale consideration or value adopted by the Stamp Valuation Authority (Circle Rate).
Note : Similar provisions has been added in Section 43CA under the PGBP chapter.
