27 February 2016 can we show cost of improvement in year 2006 if it is not capitalize in past years and no balance sheet is filed under income tax? whether the A.O can demand from us supporting documents for the same, as it is much older than 8 years?

27 February 2016 yes. AO can ask for the documents for improvement costs.

27 February 2016 but it is related to more than past 10 years & income tax demands to maintain books of accounts for 8 years only

27 February 2016 your house property is not a business asset and is not covered under books of accounts.
