I booked allotted a flat with DLF and signed a Buyer's agreement. However during the construction by DLF and before the possession I transferred the flat in FY 2008-09 by endorsing on the buyers' agreement and the same was transferred by DLF in their record. Please advise the tax implication on profit resulting from the transaction.
