Capital gain for underconstruction flat

This query is : Resolved 

21 July 2012 Hi

I booked from builder under construction flat in Aug 2006 . It will be ready for posession in Oct 2012 . I want to know the following .

1) If I sell before possession , will the gain be LTCG ?

2) If I sell immediately after possession ( means after registry in my name ) , will the gain still be LTCG or I have to wait another 3 year after possession to avail LTCG ?

Please clarify .

Thanks

21 July 2012 i) No
ii) No, have to wait 36 months from month of possession to become LTCG.

21 July 2012 I am getting conflicting views on this . I will request more views on my query .

21 July 2012 My observation is based on the decision of Andhra Pradesh High court in the case of CIT Vs Shahzada Begum reported in 173 ITR 397.
