The transaction of sale of property, which was purchased in FY 2009-10, must be disclosed in the return for AY 2018-19 and tax be paid on long term capital gain if so warranted. Since time for issuing notice u/s 148 to tax undisclosed investment of rupees 3.5 lac has elapsed by now, Income-tax department cannot take any action regarding the investment not disclosed in the return for AY 2010-11. This is my view.
