As per the query you have earned an income of Rs. 4,00,000/- on surrender of your allotted flat. As per me this falls in STCG category as allotment was made in your name which you have surrendered. Even if contrary view is taken, income would be taxable under other source but rate of taxation would remain same. Recently I had to appear for the similar case before ACIT. The AO accepted my plea and treated it as STCG.
