Respected colleagues,
I would like to seek clarification regarding the determination of the cost of acquisition of a property for capital gains purposes.

The property was originally purchased in 1997 as agricultural land and was subsequently converted into residential plot after obtaining CLU approval. The property was sold in October 2025.

In this regard, I have the following queries:

1. How should the cost of acquisition as on 01.04.2001 be determined?
Whether the same should be calculated based on a valuation report obtained from a Registered Valuer or through any other suitable method as per the provisions of the Income Tax Act.

2. If a valuation report from a Registered Valuer is obtained, whether the report should reflect:
the Fair Market Value (FMV) of the property as on 01.04.2001, or (Because FMV is always higher)
the Circle Rate/Collector Rate prevailing on that date.

3. Since the property was agricultural land as on 01.04.2001 and was converted into residential plot at a later stage, whether the valuation report should be prepared considering the nature of land as:
Agricultural Land, or
Residential Plot.

4. As the valuation report will be prepared during FY 2026-27 for a property sold in October 2025, kindly clarify whether the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 or the Income Tax Act, 2025 would be applicable for determining the valuation and computation of capital gains.

You are requested to kindly suggest the most appropriate and legally acceptable approach so that we may proceed accordingly.

Regards

I am a newly qualified Chartered Accountant. While applying for membership, I am required to upload address proof.

I have recently shifted to a new residence, but all my government-issued IDs reflect my previous address. At present, I do not have any document that shows my current address. Updating my address in government IDs will take some time; however, I would like to apply for membership at the earliest.

please advise on how I can resolve this issue?

Dear Sir,

A small company was incorporated on 27-04-2024 and has received the Certificate of Incorporation. However, no further compliances under ROC, GST, or Income Tax have been completed to date. I seek clarification on the following points:

1. Since the company was incorporated towards the end of the financial year, is it sufficient to conduct only one Board Meeting instead of two for the first financial year due to the short period available?

2. The subscribed share capital has not yet been transferred to the company’s bank account. Further, Form INC-20A has not been filed and share certificates (Form SH-1) have not been issued to the shareholders. If the subscription amount is transferred now and compliance with INC-20A and SH-1 is completed, can the share capital be reported on a due basis in the balance sheet for the first and second financial years?

3. Is it mandatory to convene a Board Meeting for every Board Resolution passed during the year? Can resolutions be passed without holding a formal Board Meeting?

4. The GST registration (GSTIN) of the corporate state has been cancelled suo motu by the department. Is it possible to apply for revocation after the extended time limit has lapsed? Additionally, can GST registration be obtained for a branch state if the GSTIN of the corporate state has not yet been revoked?

Kindly guide on the above issues.
