Date important for capital gain on sale of house


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the relevant date for calculating capital gains tax on a property sale. Generally, if possession was received in the year of the sale deed, the sale deed date is used for capital gains calculation and indexation. Any payments made before taking possession are considered advances, and indexation typically starts from the year of the sale deed or possession.

09 June 2025 Dear Sir / Madam,

Mrs. A executed an agreement to sell with a builder on 01/05/2014 to purchase a residential flat. On this date, the stamp duty was also paid. Afterwards, on 05/10/2019, Mrs A executed the sale deed with the builder, which was registered on stamp duty value of Rs. 100/-
Now she wants to sell this flat. For calculating the capital gain, which date, viz. date of agreement to sell (01/05/2014) or date of sale deed (05/10/2019) is to be considered?
Kindly guide.

Thanks & Regards,
Suraj

10 June 2025 What was the date of getting possession of the flat?

10 June 2025 If it was in 2014, you can consider DOA as of 2014.

10 June 2025 Date of possession was in 2019. Then?

10 June 2025 If you wish to reinvest any capital gain u/s. 54 or 54EC, consider purchase as 2019.

10 June 2025 Thank you sir. Mrs A entered into agreement to sell on 20/10/2014 and paid stamp duty of 218600/- and registration charges of Rs. 30000/-. Then the deed of apartment was executed & registered on 25/07/2019 paying Rs. 100/- as stamp duty and the possession is received. Now she is selling this flat. Then which year of indexation will be available? if it is of 2019 as the possession received in 2019, then how to take indexation of stamp duty and registration charges paid in 2014?
Please guide.
Regards,
Suraj

10 June 2025 Any amount paid before taking possession should be taken as advance, as deal gets completed in 2019. Indexation can be taken from 2019 to 2025.
