Gift Tax Act, 1990
Section 4(ja) And
Income Tax Ordinance, 1984
Section 53M:
The intention of the legislators when the Gift Tax Act, 1990 was enacted
was to exempt certain persons from tax if the gift was made to the persons
stated in Section 4(ja) of the Gift Tax Act, 1990. Moreover, we have also
found that the impugned Section 53M of ITO was only inserted in the Finance
Act 2010, while the Gift Tax Act, which was enacted in 1990, is an earlier
law and is still very much a provision of law, since no amendment or
changes to the law have been brought to till present. Therefore the
provisions the Gift Tax Act, 1990 shall prevail over any insertion that
might have been brought into the ITO 1984 and there can be no room for any
presumptions or assumptions that tax must be paid by all in case of any
gift which might be made to any person irrespective of his or her
relationship with the donee of the gift and to presume such a thing is a
serious misinterpretation of the law and is a misinterpretation of the
intention of the legislators and shall result in serious miscarriage of
justice. ...Asoke Das Gupta Vs Ministry of Finance & ors, (Civil), 7 SCOB
