09 September 2025 DEAR SIR,

ONE OF MY CLIENT ENTERED INTO JOINT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT IN THE YEAR OF 2020 FOR DEVELOPING AND CONVERTING INTORURAL AGRICULTURAL LAND TO NON AGRICULTURAL LAND. THE AGRI LAND WAS INHERITED PROPERTY. THE DEVELOPER DEVELOPED THE AGRI LAND AND TRANSFER TO MY CLIENT NAME IN THE YEAR OF 2022.

HE SOLD THE SITES IN THE YEAR OF 2024.

IN THIS SITUTION HOW TO DETERMINE COST OF ACQUISTION AND YEAR.
BEFORE 2020 OR 2022

THANK YOU SIR ,

REGARDS

09 September 2025 Whether possession was handed over to the developer?
Whether developer was paid his fees by part of land? or monetarily?

09 September 2025 This particular transfer will be seen with different angle. It will be considered sell of 50% land in 2022 in lieu of NA charges. Remaining part sold in 2024. The cost of acquisition remains that of original purchaser (for-father) or that 01.04.2001.

10 September 2025 THANK YOU SIR,

BUT THE LAND SITUATED IN RURAL AREA STILL COMES UNDER LOCAL PANCHAYATH PERVIEW. SO BEFORE THE CONVERSION IT WAS PURELY AGRICULTURAL LAND.
1. I WAS THOUGHT THAT IT IS CORRECT OR NOT WHEN THE LAND TRANFERED TO MY CLIENT NAME AFTER CONVERSION THE CIRCLE RATE OR SR VALUE AS PER 2022. NOW THE CIRCLE RATE PER SITE IS RS.700000/- BUT THE SITE SOLD IN 2024 IS RS.1400000/-.

2. ONLY 10 SITE WERE TRANFERED TO MY CLIENT IN THE LAST YEAR
3.STILL NEARLY 30 SITES WILL BE TRF. TO MY CLIENT THIS CURRENT YEAR.
4. I THOUGHT BEFORE CONVERSION THE AGRI LAND IS NOT A CAPITAL ASSETS

THANK YOU SIR,

PLEASE SUGGEST ME I WERE WRONG IN OPINION

10 September 2025 No. That of agricultural land.
Conversion happened in 2022. You can add the cost as 'cost of improvement' in 2022.
