Regarding Joint Development Agreement


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the process for joint owners of land entering into a development agreement with a partnership firm they form. It confirms that all joint owners can enter such an agreement, allowing the firm to develop and sell plots. Capital gains tax for the original owners becomes applicable upon the sale of the plots, and they can potentially benefit from exemptions like Section 54F. The partnership firm's tax liability is based on the profit earned from selling the plots after deducting development costs.
