Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies capital gains tax on redeveloped properties purchased in 1990. The key takeaway is that capital gains tax is only payable when the redeveloped property is eventually sold, not upon receiving the Occupancy Certificate (OC) in 2024. The cost of acquisition for calculating the gain will be indexed from the purchase year (2001) up to the year of sale.

Property purchased in 1990
Went under redevelopment in Jan 2022
Assuming we will receive the OC in 2024

Case no. 1- In the year 2021-22 – No capital gain tax
Case no. 2 - In the year 2024-25 – again no capital gain tax as redeveloped property is received within 3 years.
Case no. 3 - So now only capital gain will be taxable in the year in which the redeveloped property is sold.
In case no. 3- Cost of Acquisition will be indexed cost of purchase taking base year as 2001 till 2022.

Am I right?
