The transaction would be chargeable in Capital gain only as it would be the relenquishment of right on the flat. Right to sell the can be excercised only when there is right of ownership. Even though the property is under construction, the capital gain would be only on transfer of right.
It is a case of substance over form, irrespective of whether the assesse has got the possesion the underconstruction flat will be taxed under capital gains head as it is a capital asset..
