Vembu Vaidyanathan [ITA No. 1459 of 2016], held in January 2019 that the date of allotment would be treated as the date of acquisition. The ITAT reiterated the same principles. Example:- Chethan books a flat on 5th June 2016, pays the booking amount on the same date. An allotment letter is issued by the builder on the same date. An agreement to sell is entered into by Chethan and the builder on 7th July 2016. Chethan sells the under-construction property to Mr. Darwin on 25th August 2019. The holding period is calculated based on the date of the letter of allotment, which in this case is the 5th of June, 2016.
