Property sale taxation

Hello

I am taking advance amount for sale of my property this week and most probably registation will conclude after 2 to 3 months i.e next financial year. So for income tax purpose how should I show the advance amount which i will take in this financial year ? Kindly guide. 

Thanks

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to handle advance payments received for a property sale for income tax purposes. The consensus is that the advance amount should be recorded as 'Advance received' in the current financial year. However, it will only become taxable in the financial year when the property registration is completed, falling under capital gains or loss calculations.

Pls post values

Property worth 20 Lakhs

Advance - 5 lakhs 

You can record the amount as Advance received, however it shall be taxable only in the year of sale of property
Advance is not taxable , advance paid on the basis of transaction , unless the transaction is accomplished it's not done.

It will be considered in the year sale of property and it will be done under capital gains / loss, workings done by taking indexation table. 

Thanks all for your timely advise 🙂
