11 December 2012 "right in immovable property" is also a capital asset. The period of holding is 36 months for short term / long term. Section 54 and/or 54F exemption may not be available.

11 December 2012 to be more specific ,I had booked a 3 BHK apartment with a builder as per his payment terms on Jan 20th '2010.The builder issued me allotment letter on April 14th '2010 but builder-buyer-agreement was signed on June 4th '2010 only.Possession is due in 6 month-1 yr period.
From when will 'right in immovable property' be counted for the purpose of capital gains tax calculation?

Pls help clarify exemptions under Sec 54 and 54 F.

12 December 2012 Proposal/offer to "right in imovable property was created by you on 20/01/2010, accepted by builder on 14/04/2010 and reduced to writing on 04/06/2010.
14/04/2010 can be taken as date provided the same is duly incorporated in "builder buyer agreement", ELSE 04/06/2010 will be taken as conclusive evidence of creation of right in imovable property.
