01 July 2015 There are 3 transactions involved here:
(1) Sale of original house. No exemption u/s 54 as land is bought.
(2) Use of land for joint venture. If it is indeed a joint venture then the 4 flats received will be share of profit taxable as business income. If only development rights were transferred to builder without any share in the overall profit then it not really a joint venture but another 'transfer' and rules of capital gain will apply.
(3) Sale of 2 flats will be STCG hence no exemption will be available. This is irrespective of whether point (2) is business income or capital gain.
My opinion is that the person concerned should hire a CA and get this done professionally.
