Cost of Acquistion in case of flat

1613 views 3 replies

Hi

I have a flat for sale which was purchased in 2010. The cost includes water connection charges, electricity connection charges, corpus deposit for maintenance, club membership fees, One time campus maintenance fee etc. Can i consider these costs to my COA at the time of sale? What are the costs that can be included?

Yes all this costs should be taken in cost of acquisition

No, these costs are not a part of the cost of acquisition, the expenses incurred at the time of purchase are considered as a cost of acquisition, like stamp duty paid, commission paid to the dealer.

The costs mentioned in your query are more towards usage of property than towards flat acquisition. Hence, in my view, they cannot form part of your acquisition cost. As Durgesh ji rightly pointed out, costs which are directly attributable to acquisition of property viz., stamp duty, brokerage, registration charges etc., can be claimed as deduction. Further, Jaipur ITAT in case of Parawati Devi Totlani (ITA No. 120/Jp/2019 dated 28 February 2020) has permitted indexation of interest on loan and thereby allowed it as deduction while computing capital gains
