Date of acquisition for determining long / short term

1358 views 3 replies

The query is with regards to sale of flat.

I booked a flat in December 2009 and received allotment letter also in December 2009. Subsequently I paid the stamp duty and registration fees on 31/03/2010. Since this was a under construction flat, till date I have been paying instalment amounts to the builder. Possession of the property will be received by end of April 2013. If I sell my flat in current position, it would amount to Long Term Capital Gain, as I would be selling my right to acquire a property. However if I sell the property after the possession of the flat, what would be the date of acquistion -

(a) Date on which I received allotment letter,

(b) Date of registration; or

(c) Date of possession?

I think date of receiving allotment letter. But wait for others to reply.

Sale is effected once title of goods is transferred, i don think so allotment letter gives you a right to acquire, (it depends what is stated in that letter). Registration date would be the appropriate date. Possession date is not relevant in any case.

date of registration no doubt the asset will be urs,

even if we takes case 1 no problem as both come in a same financial year,

so definetly it will be a long term capital asset
