15 February 2016 The cost of land without development and construction costs will be the cost of acquisition for the land. All other costs pertain to the building. However, if a composite sale deed is made for the sale of the property, as is usually done - building with land appertuant thereto, then the entire consideration is short term capital gains.

16 February 2016 1. Capital gain for land and building has to be computed separately, land being long term and building being short term.

2. My observations are based on Madras high court decision in the case of
CIT Vs. Dr. D.L. Ramachandra Rao [1999] 236 ITR 51.
