Income tax in case of Reconstruction of property

Dear all,

We are getting an old property reconstructed. It has 4 partners. everyone has there separate portions, registered, demarcated and mutated. 

After reconstruction, the size of property will increase for everyone . for e.g. if my portion right now is only ground floor, it will increase by one more floor above.

We all shall be investing money in the construction ofcourse.

I wanted to know if this capital increase in the value my property , be treated as income ? do i need to pay any tax in lieu of this ? or it will be considered only at the time of sale of property and not now ?

Quick Summary
This discussion addresses whether the increased value of a property after reconstruction is considered taxable income. The consensus is that the capital increase is only taxed upon the sale of the property. At that point, indexation benefits can be applied to the construction costs when calculating capital gains.

Any amount invested in property has to be done using your income resources. amount invested in property will certainly increase the cost of property. you can avail indexation benefits over the construction at the time of sale.
The capital increase in value of your property will be considered only at the time of its sale.
When you sale it will consider when indexation will be done while calculating your capital gain
