Hi Rajesh, It is the sale of rights by the trust. Rs. 10 lacs will be taxable in the hands of trust as long term capital gain. So far the land lord is concerned, capital gain will be as under;
Sale consideration Rs. 30 lacs Less : paid to tenant Rs. 10 lacs ( Expenses on transfer ) ----------- Balance Rs. 20 lacs Less : Indexed cost xxxxx ----------- Long Term Capital Gain/loss xxxx
