07 November 2012 The gain is calculated with respect to "capital Asset". In your case you have to decide as to what is your capital asset. Only LAND or LAND on as is where is basis or LAND with Building or building only or......

07 November 2012 1.Yes, Capital gain on land and building should be calculated separately.

2.Building treated as separate capital asset , hence period of holding is to be calculated only for building, if constructed and sold in the same year it should be short term capital gain only.
