Treatment of Advance money received
As per sec. 51 of IT Act, 1961 "...... any advance or other money received and retained by the assessee in respect of such negotiations, shall be deducted from the cost for which the asset was acquired or the written down value or the fair market value,..........."
From the above it may be observed that Cost of acquisition will be first reduced by the amount of advance money received and thereafter it will be indexed.
