Sir, My wife purchased a house plot of 125 Sq yds and gave it to development through registered Development Agreement cum GPA to a Developer, who pooled up properties like this and developed 14 storied apartment. He allotted 2010 Sq feet house flat to her in lieu of her share. Whether my wife has to pay Capital Gain Tax? If so, what are the parameters to pay tax? Please guide me. Vijay
