Quick Summary
This discussion explores the calculation of long-term capital gains tax when selling land purchased in 1963-64, where the original construction was demolished before the sale. The core question is whether the capital gains tax should be based solely on the land's cost as of April 1st, 2001, or include the cost of the demolished construction as well. There's a concern that tax authorities might only consider the land cost due to stamp duty being paid on the land alone.

If you have registered agreement of only land, ITO will be reluctant to allow you indexed cost of demolished property. Reason being stamp duty would have been paid only over land !!!

Why construction cost of immovable property not considered for long term capital gains. Some legal advice it is allowing purpose of computation of long term capital gains

I HAVE MY VIEWPOINT BASED ON MY PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE. I DO NOT KNOW ABOUT OTHER'S VIEW, UNLESS REASON SPECIFIED.
