21 November 2011 An assessee purchased House Property and spent money on construction of boundry walls, installation of main gate, repairs n renovation before shifting to that property. Does all these expenses amounts to Cost of Improvement? The assessee dont possess any records of such repairs like payment to workers and purchase of material i.e. bricks, cement etc. Can he still claim the benefit and on what grounds?
