Income Tax Act, 1967.

Patent rights sold before operative date.

289.—Nothing in the preceding provisions of this Chapter shall apply in relation to any patent rights if those rights, or any rights out of which they were granted, have been the subject of a sale before the operative date and the proceeds of the sale consisted wholly or partly of a capital sum:

Provided that, in relation to any patent rights to which section 287 applies, this section shall apply as if, for the reference to the operative date, there were substituted a reference to the date on which the said rights were purchased by the person who, by virtue of that section, is deemed to have purchased them on the operative date.
