Sir, Can you please explain me a doubt in capital gains. Case: A person obtained a land as gift( before 1981), on which he constructed a building. On demand of the buyer X (who what to purchase only land)in the year 1999-00 he demolished the building and it remained empty from then on. In the year 2008-09 he sold the land to same X. Here can he claim the expenses of demolishing the building as cost ( or exp of transfer). please mention the case if any.
