Query of capital gain

it is possession date, an agreement is only an first step to an contract there are chances it can be breached.

so its always a possssion date rather than agreement date. Sec58 of Immovable properties act also speicifes only about possession and not about date of agreement.

I think it would be the actual transfer of ownership

As per section 2(47) Possession date will be considered for calculating Capital Gains.

Dear Chetan ji,

your query is a pretty old issue confronted by the parliament while legislating the act. Hence, there is no doubts cast as of now on this matter.

Section 2, clause 47 and further sub clause (v) reads as under:

"ANY TRANSACTION INVOLVING THE ALLOWING OF THE POSSESSION OF ANY IMMOVABLE PROPERTY TO BE TAKEN OR RETAINED IN PART PERFORMANCE OF A CONTRACT OF THE NATURE REFERRED TO IN SECTION 53A OF THE TRANSFER OF PROPERTY ACT, 1882 (4 OF 1882); OR...."

Thus section 53A of TPA'1882 which deals with possession, makes it amply clear that the transfer of

possession date shall be taken into consideration and not "agreement" date.

Cheers

Thanks for your reply

In capital gain of house property if there is any addition (i.e Tv.,furniture,refg.geezer,etc) amount to Rs 150000/-. in such case i get deduction of these in computing capital gain.

Flat sold as it is.

@ chetan

no , these are just personal effects and can not be added to property value, irrespective of fact that these belong with property in sale agreement or not.
