This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

An individual sold a slum hut in Mumbai for Rs. 22,50,000 in FY 2022-23, having purchased it in May 2012. Despite no formal registration or valuation for slum properties, they reported a Long Term Capital Loss (LTCG) of Rs. 3,15,000 in their income tax return. The query concerns potential Income Tax inquiries regarding this loss. The response suggests that if the purchase value of Rs. 15,50,000 can be substantiated with authentic documents, there should be no cause for concern, and the filed ITR already allows for carrying forward the LTCG loss.

28 July 2023 Dear Sir,
In the financial year 2022-23 a slum hut in Mumbai was sold for Rs.2250000, which was purchased on May-2012. There is no registration and stamp duty for slum huts in Mumbai. There are no valuation reports for this slum Sale.

My question is if I have shown loss of LTCG Rs.315000/- in income tax return then there can be any inquiry from Income Tax?

Please reply your valuable advice in this regards.

Thanks & regards
N Kadam
