My Question Is Related To Section 45(5) Deals With Computation Of Capital Gain In Case Of Compulsory Aquisation Of a Capital Asset.My Question Is..
(1)How We Calculate Period Of Holding In Such Cases. For Example If A Capital Asset Is Purchased In 1985 And Was Aquaired By Government In 1986 For Rs. 2500000. On May 2011 The Owner Gets 500000 Rupees As Part Payment From Government.
How Will We Treat This?
it is STCG OR LTCG??

(2) when enhanced Compensation received in installments how we treat that.
like..The High Court Increase The Compensation From 5000000 to 9000000 the additional compensation of 4000000 is receved as 2500000 in that year and remaining 1500000 in next year. how it will taxable??

As  per Sec 45(5) when a capital asset is compulsorily acquired by government it will be treated as transfer of the previous year in which the asset is compulsorily acquired but capital gain will be taxable in the year in which the compensation or part thereof is first received.Enhanced compensation will be taxable as and when it is received.Its COA will be be NIL..Therefore in your case CApital gain will be charged in 2011-12 but period of holding will be from 1985  to 1986.It will be Stcg in your case .

Enhanced Compensation will be fully taxable in the year in which it is received.COA will be NIL.

Nicely explained...........!!!!!

...In Case Of Enhanced Compensation U/s 45(5) What Will Be The Treatment Of Following Problem..

      The High Court Enhanced The Compensation From Rs. 2000000 To Rs. 5000000 On November 2010.

       Hence It Is Increased By Rs. 3000000 (5000000-2000000).

       Mr. X Received  enhanced Compensation As follows :-

        On January , 2011  Rs. 500000

        On May , 2011   Rs. 2500000

       ...Now My Question Is In This Situation Will The Whole Enhahanced Compensation Of 3000000 

         Taxable On January 2011 Or 

         Rs. 500000 Will Be Taxable On January 2011 And 2500000 on May 2011.

         

Rs. 500000 will be taxable in the year 2010-11 & Rs 2500000 will be taxable in the year 2011-12

Completely agree, with Richa and she explained the same earlier very well.
