This discussion explores the income tax liability for members of a co-operative housing society undergoing redevelopment. It details various forms of compensation received by members, including garages, new flats, hardship allowances, corpus funds, brokerage, shifting charges, and rent. The advice given suggests that only actual expenses incurred under these heads are deductible, with any additional amounts being taxable. The impact of not incurring certain expenses, like rent or brokerage, on the tax calculation is also questioned.
