Hello,

Date of purchase of flat will be taken as the date of allotment of flat.

since the flat is alloted to you, now you are the owner of the house since than, even you can do construction on the flat thereafter.

Thanking You

Thanks Ankit. Subhash Lakhotia also said this. Anyone disagree?

ANSWER is DATE OF ALLOTMENT , subject to CONTENT OF ALLOTMENT LETTER.

Examples of ALLOTMENT LETTER in brief =

1) Mr xyz is entitle to a flat in ABC Tower. = THEN Date of Allotment Letter will not be considered as ur DOA (Date of Acquisition). your case is 100% weak.

2) Mr. xyz is entitled to a flat no 1001, admeasuring 1000 sq feet on 10th floor. = THEN your case is Strong. and date on allotment letter will be considered as DATE OF ACQUISITION. Your case is 100% strong.

 

Apart from this there can be various permutations and combinations. So DRAFTING plays crucial role. 

so when you can JUSTIFY THAT SOME RIGHT WAS CREATED IN THAT PROPERTY THEN U HAVE A STRINGER CASE.
