  Basic question is geneartion of  TDR ( fungible FSI -Hypothetical rights of development in lieu of affaected area under DP plan /acquisition  )  from a muncipal Corporation  is liable for LTCG, ?  yes  or No ,  If Yes how to compute it ? If No, will it be a business income  for a owner / holder of TDR certificate ?

 Mr.ABC is an entrepruener, having property , since sevearl years , period of more than 3 years within  municipal limits , which is affected by Development Plan-Town Palnning proposals  l like widening of roads  to DP road , new road , garden, vegetable market ,

As State Govt. and municipal Corporation is having paucity  of funds , and as per sanctioned policy has offered compensation of affected area (assume 1000 SqMtr ), to give TDR ( transferrable  development rights) double FSI ( 2000 Sqmtr) , against  that affected area, that either can be used  by HIM at other locations (within same city) by him , or can sell it / transfer it as TDR to other persons .

 Now procdure to Do so invloves , REGSITERED RELINQUISHEMENT DEED by owner / POA holder of affected land  favoring Munc.Corpoartion , assume that land of 15000 SqMtr. is held by him since 2006  ( govt. valuation Rs. 75 lacs), he relinqushed 1000 SqMtr ( without any monetory compensation) ( govt valuation for erstwhile 1000 SqMtr. = Rs.20 lacs )  favoring MC in 2016, and got that TDR certificate of 2000 SqMtr,

 Now , if he uses this TDR anywhere within city   ,present  cost  of that TDR (2000 SqMtr) is  around  Rs. 60 lacs ,   if he sells it in part  current year he can genearte Rs.80 lacs.

 question is  is LTCG is payable  for TDR (twice of permissible FSI of affacted area ) so generated by him ( retaining  that TDR certicate  SAFELY with him self ) or otherwise
