treatment of LAND will also depend on the actual possession.

If the possession was also got in 2011 then it will be treated as short-term asset.

And in my opinion since the House will be integral part and parcel sold with the land it cannot be treated separately. Will have to take cost of construction under cost of improvement.

02 March 2013 THANK YOU SIR
PLEASE PROVIDE ME ANY CASE LAW ON ADDITION OF CONSTRUCTION COST OF THAT HOUSE IN "COST OF IMPROVEMENT"..

02 March 2013 Dear Kunal

According to section 53A of Transfer of Property Act 1882, the transfer of Ownership has taken place if the immovable property possession or part of possession had transferred from thepurchaser to vendor.
In your case the allotment letter received in 2009. Hence you can claim it as an long term asset.

09 October 2021 Possession of the plot if received in 2009, then it will be considered as long term; otherwise short term, with construction on it as cost of improvement.
