Capital gain calculation on under-construction land

My Scenario is:

  • – We have land purchased in 2012 in an under-construction township for 22 L.
  • – Paid installments Till 2014 about 15L was in totality paid. Although, further requests for installments didn’t come because builder couldn’t simply do land acquisition.
  • – After waiting for many years, I had transferred it (on Affidevit of 100 Rs E-Stamp paper) in 2022 for exactly same amount i.e. 15L. No registeration / No possission / No handover nothing happened till date. Basically, builder was not able to do land acquisition till date.

My questions are:

  • – This is a case of long term capital gain?
  • – If Yes, how do we calculate long term capital gain for this property? Only allotment happened in 2012 but Possession / Registration never happened on it.

Quick Summary
This discussion explores the calculation of capital gains on under-construction land purchased in 2012 and transferred in 2022. The core issue is determining if this qualifies as a long-term capital gain, given that no registration, possession, or handover has occurred. The advice suggests declaring it under 'Income from Other Sources' (IFOS) and calculating capital gains separately for under-construction land sales.

No. You should declare it under IFOS.

Capital gain on under construction land if u sell then it is deckared seperately.
