The expenditure referred by you is not cost of acquisition or cost of improvement (Sec. 55 read with sec. 48).
However, this is an expenditure incurred wholly and exclusively in connection with the transfer [Sec. 48(i)] as the payment of damages for violation of the agreement is necessarily to be paid by you. As the payment is absolutely necessary to effect the transfer, it will be considered as an expenditure covered by this clause. In other words, without paying damages as per the agreement, sale of plot could not be effected.
Don't refer the payment as penalty, just refer it as damages. The compensation for violation of an agreement is always "liquidated damages" as stipulated by the agreement.
