10 March 2011 Bayana is not taxable right now but whenever the property will be sold it would be deducted from cost of acquisition.
Indexation will be allowed on the balance amount of cost only.
In case the cost of acquisition is Rs 400000/- at the time of sale Nil Cost of acquisition will be taken.
