Capital gain (open space and road )

I have 100000 sq ft area which i converted into small plots.

due to government rules I have transferred 40000 sq ft to government for open space and for roads.

i have remaining only 60000 sq ft .

now i sell 10 plots from this area.

for purpose calculation open space and road cost are considered as expenses for land.

Open space you will receive some amount as compensation.

Plotting land and surrendering roads or open spaces:

• Converting land into plots and selling them: if done as business (developing and selling plots), it's business income. Converting a capital asset (land) into stock-in-trade attracts Sec 45(2) (capital gain on conversion, taxable when plots are sold).

• Land surrendered to the government or local authority for roads and open spaces (as required by layout approval rules, without compensation): it's part of the cost of developing the saleable plots. Its cost is absorbed into the cost of the saleable plots (allocate the total land cost over the saleable area).

• Development expenses (roads, drainage) are added to cost.
