Transfer includes EXTINGUISHMENT. By doing redevelopement, your earlier property is getting extinguished and a new property is being built. So there will be capital gain. The full value of consideration for the transfer of old property will be the value of new property which you will be getting.... Tell me on which value did you pay the stamp duty in spite of the fact that the value is shown NIL in the redevelopement agreement?
