This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion explores the capital gains tax implications for a flat purchased in 1993 that underwent redevelopment. Possession was handed over in 2021, with the new flat received in 2025. The key question is whether this qualifies as a taxable long-term capital gain, especially given the extended construction period. The consensus is that the date of acquisition for redevelopment is considered from the original purchase date (2001), making the gain long-term. It also queries the availability of exemption under Section 54.
