i want to know that what type of cost should be added in the cost of acquisition of property?
like stamp duty and registration charges will be added. but with these expenses any other expenses can be added e.g. Legal charges, society formation charges, Share money and entrance fees, Electric and water charges, Development Charges, Adhoc maintenance charges, Infrastructure charges, External infrastructure charges..
So i want to know that all these expenses should be added to cost of acquisition or not??
Please guide me..
