27 May 2014 If agreement to purchase is a registered documents then you can consider the said date for determining capital gain but if not then purchase deed would be considered for determining the holding period. Issue is extremely contestable and it can go upto HC level if Assessing Officer takes narrow view. It is recommended to use strategy based on the facts of the matter
