The date of acquisition of a capital asset is the date of transfer as per sec. 2(47) of IT Act. Capital gain is taxable in the year in which capital asset is transferred. Title to immovable asset will not pass till conveyance deed is executed and registered. Alapati Venkataramiah V. CIT(SC). A document on subsequent registration will take effect from the time it was executed and not from the time of its registration. So the date of acquisition in your case will be the date of the execution of the sale deed. This is also decided in the case of CIT V. Ghaziabad Engg. Co. (Pvt.) Ltd.
