LTCG on sale of Builder Buyer Agreement

Facts of the case

1. BBA signed in March 2010. 95% payment ie Rs 45 lakh approx done through instalments till 2016.

2. Construction stalled since then. Plan to sell BBA/under construction property for Rs. 62 lakh approx.

How LTCG will be worked out? Whether indexation benefit will be provided?

Thanks for clarification in the matter.

The sale of the BBA will result in a Long-Term Capital Gain. Due to grandfathering rules for properties acquired before July 2024, you can choose between paying a 12.5% tax without indexation on the flat Rs. 17 Lakh profit, or a 20% tax with indexation. If you opt for indexation, you cannot index the full Rs. 45 Lakhs from 2010; instead, you must calculate the indexation benefit for each instalment separately from the year that specific payment was made.
