price) and subsequent cancellation of the FCCB

• Proviso to Section 112 is applicable to both, residents as well as NRs
• Phrase ‘before giving effect to’ implies that for application of proviso to Section 112 of the Act, the asset must be qualified for CII benefit under second proviso q pto Section 48 of the Act
• If proviso to Section 112 was supposed to apply also to the first proviso to Section 48 which gives benefit of exchange fluctuation protection to NR taxpayers, specific inclusion to that effect would have been made
• Since the benefit of lower rate of tax at 10% was already available to NRs, in order to bring level playing field for the residents, concessional rate of 10% was

Timken France*, In re
• Benefit of the proviso to section 112(1) could not be denied to foreign
companies who were also entitled to relief in terms of first proviso to section 48.
Clear words would have been deployed in the proviso if one particular category
i.e. non-residents were to be excluded. The eligibility to avail the benefit of
indexed cost of acquisition was not a sine qua non for applying the reduced rate
of 10 percent. It was only a mode of computation of capital gains
• If tax authorities’ contention accepted, even Zero coupon bonds (ZCBs) and
debentures will go out of the purview of section 112 which not intended

• As per CBDT Circular No. 554, the first proviso to section 48 was introduced to
compensate non-resident Indian investors for the lower earning in foreign
currency on account of the decline of rupee value.

Timken France, In re
• As per CBDT Circular No. 636, the second proviso to section 48 was introduced as a measure to off-set the effect of inflation. Further, non-residents were excluded from the purview of second proviso. As protection from fluctuation in rupee value in terms of foreign currency ensured protection from inflation,rupee value in terms of foreign currency ensured protection from inflation, further relief in terms of indexation would not be available to non-residents who would enjoy the concession available in the first proviso to section 48.
• The tax authorities contended that the taxpayer could not claim double benefit. However, the AAR held that double benefit or additional relief was not a taboo under the law. Merely because the non-residents got protection from rupee value fluctuation in terms of foreign currency, it did not follow that the non-

residents should not get the benefit of reduced rate of tax which the residents were getting. The protection in terms of first proviso to section 48, made available to a non-resident, might be a justification to deny the benefit of cost of indexation as stated in CBDT Circular No. 636, but, the same could not be said to apply to lesser rate of tax.

Zero Coupon Bonds
• Zero Coupon Bond are defined under Section 2(48) to mean a bond issued
by infrastructure capital company / fund or public sector company or schedule
bank on or after 1 June 2005, in respect of which no payment and benefit is
received or receivable before maturity of redemption from issuer and which thereceived or receivable before maturity of redemption from issuer and which the
Central Government notify
• Definition of ‘transfer’ under Section 2(47) includes inter alia ‘the maturity or
redemption of a zero coupon bond’
• Third proviso to Section 48 - “Provided also that nothing contained in the
second proviso shall apply to the long-term capital gains arising from the

second proviso shall apply to the long term capital gains arising from the
transfer of a long term capital asset being bond or debenture other than capital
indexed bonds issued by the Government”
Zero Coupon Bonds
• Proviso to Section 112(1) – “Provided that where the tax payable in respect of
any income arising from the transfer of long term capital asset, being listed
securities or units or zero coupon bond*, exceeds 10 percent of the amount of
capital gains ‘before giving effect to the provisions of the second proviso tocapital gains before giving effect to the provisions of the second proviso to

• Memorandum to Finance Bill 2005 – concerning taxation of zero coupon

to be amended so as to bring parity with other securities. Consequently long
termcapital gains on zero coupon bonds will be subject to tax at ten per cent. if
the tax payer does not claim the benefit of indexation.

Relevant Decisions
• Relevant observations in Timken France, In re (2007) 294 ITR 513 (AAR)
“We shall first turn our attention to ZCBs. The third proviso to Section 48 which was
introduced by the Finance Act, 1997, ordains "nothing contained in the second proviso
shall apply to the long-term capital gains arising from the transfer of a long-term capital
asset being bond or debenture other than capital indexed bonds issued by the
Government". Thus, for computation of capital gains under Section 48 in respect of ZCBs,
the benefit of second proviso to Section 48 is specifically excluded by the third proviso to
Section 48. When the second proviso to Section 48 is thus excluded in relation to ZCBs, it
should logically follow, if the revenue’s contention is accepted, that ZCBs should also go
out of purview of the proviso to Section 112(1) whereas ZCB was specifically included by
way of amendment of the proviso admittedly with a view to extend the benefit of
33© 2011 KPMG, an Indian Partnership and a member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), a Swiss entity. All rights reserved.
concessional rate of 10 per cent to such bonds . Otherwise, the amendment inserting
ZCBs in the proviso to Section 112(1) will be infructuous. It is nobody’s case that ZCBs
answering the description of long-term assets should be subjected to the normal 20 per
cent tax under the substantive provision of Section 112.”
Relevant Decisions
• Relevant observations in Cairn UK Holdings Ltd., In re (2011) 12 taxmann.com 266
(AAR)
“The 3rd proviso to Section 48 of the Act brings out distinction in the species of
bonds when it excludes 'bonds ' which are 'capital indexed bonds issued by the
Government'. Just as there are 'capital indexed bonds issued by the Government', there
is another specie of bonds called 'zero coupon bonds ' of separate and distinct nature to
which reference is made by the proviso to Section 112(1). The Legislature is conscious of
this fact…..
…the Finance Act, 2005 inserted 'zero coupon bond ' as one of the assets along with
'securities' and 'unit' in the proviso to Section 112(1). We have already noted that
'zero coupon bond ' and 'bond ' are different financial instruments. The 3rd proviso

therefore does not include 'zero coupon bond ' and hence the 'zero coupon bond ' is
eligible for indexation under the 2nd proviso to Section 48 of the Act.”
