15 May 2011 for builder the whole fund is paid towards the cost of property, though he has paid it in break ups.

the main object is property, the owners are neither paying any service to the builder nor they are employed with them, so the question of such perks are not to paid except the objective of development of propety.

in my view all such sums are to be accumulated and invested in .......Capital gain account, as the property development may take some time, and on completion of development, they can re-calculate taxability and then proceed further.
