Quick Summary

The Tamil Nadu Authority of Advance Ruling (TNAAR) has determined that the transfer of development rights under a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) is taxable. The taxable value is to be calculated based on the price of similar flats sold to independent buyers, not the actual construction cost. This ruling applies even if the agreement was made before a specific amendment, as the time of supply falls after it.
