Dear sir/madame My Query is about capital Gains. Query:One of my clients got land as gift from his father(ancestors) (800sq yds)and he purchased some land from neighbour(200sq yds) and constructed flats in the land (1000sq yds) given and purchased and sold them. Whether it be taxed under capital gain income or business income. In earlier years of his returns he has not shown as capital asset. He is a civil works contract by business / profession.
