17 November 2009 Cost for the business is Rs1.00 cr further expenses only adds to the cost of construction The difference between cost and sale proceeds is the profit of the business. If only the building in question is your issue then the cost of the building Rs20.00 lacs plus further expeneses thereon will be the cost for the building alone which alone when sold will bring in the sale proceeds.
