Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether an NRI relocating from the UK to India can claim travel expenses incurred for executing and registering a property sale deed when calculating Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG). The consensus is that such travel expenses are not allowable. This is because allowable expenses must be wholly and exclusively incurred in connection with the transfer, and including travel costs could lead to claims for other personal expenses like accommodation and food.

Such expenses incurred not claimable
Reasons?

Allowable expenses must be "Wholly and Exclusively incurred in connection with such transfer" if we start allowing it then food and accommodation for staying in hotel etc will also have to be added to such transfer expense.
