This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses whether additional expenses paid to a builder, beyond the registered purchase agreement, can be included in the 'cost of acquisition' for calculating long-term capital gains tax. The user paid INR 3 Lakhs via cheque for items such as society maintenance, service tax, and development charges, in addition to the INR 29 Lakhs purchase price. The consensus is that these additional expenses can indeed be included in the cost of acquisition.
