02 January 2016 How do I compute acquisition cost of redevelop flat which was on rent before redevelopment. Can I take acquisition price as ready reckoner price ?

02 January 2016 My Query is yet not resolved.
Pl help.

02 January 2016 Acquisition cost in normal parlance is the cost at which you acquired the flat. Ready reckoner prices or stamp duty valuations are considered for the purpose of deciding sales consideration.
.
If your query is in respect of the taxation aspect of Vile Parle flat, you have to consider its municipal valuation or rateable value taken for the purpose of the property tax. However, from this valuation if the property can fetch higher rent as prevalent in the area, you have to take that amount for the purpose of calculating tax.

02 January 2016 Thank you Mr Bafna,
I would like to know the acquisition price in case I sell this flat and computing long term tax liabilities.
Pl help.


02 January 2016 Please refer the property documents and your mother's return for gathering the costs incurred.
.
In a case where the property has been acquired prior to 1.4.1981, valuation as on 1.4.1981 has to be obtained from a registered valuer . Further, improvement costs can also be considered. These costs are further indexed by applying the cost inflation index of the respective years..
