the amount paid to tenant is deductible expenditure u/s 48 (1)CIT Vs. Shakuntala Rajeshwar 160 ITR 840 (Delhi). CIT Vs. A. VENKATARAMAN AND OTHERS 137ITR 846
sir, as per agreement of sale , the seller is under obligation to hand over vacant possession to the purchaser. if the property is not vacant, possession can not be handed over , which is also a precondition in sec53A of transfer of property act. however different courts has taken different view, wheather amount paid to tenant is cost of improvement or expenditure in relation to transfer but in any case, it is alloawble in calculation of capital gain
