I have sold my flat in May 2011 month. the purchaser made Power of Attorney instead of Sell Agreement. he gave me cheque of Rs. 7,50,000/-. So this amount treated under Short term Capital Gain/loss or include in regular income.Because as per new rule property transfer through Power of Attorney is not treated as sell deed. So please guide me in this metter.

In case you have given the possession of the property, it can be proved as genuine transaction. . You have to calculate Capital Gains on this transaction by deducting the Cost of Acquisition from the sales Consideration. . If the flat is a long term capital asset, you can further take indexation benefit as well as exemption from Capital Gains by investing in certain avenues.
