18 May 2015 Assessee has given a land along with Shed for Developers and in return he got 1 flat as consideration with in 2 years of transfer of property to developer and Exemption was claimed u/s 54F. But he sold the Flat which he received as consideration with in two years from date of acquisition of Flat. But when date of sale is compared with date of development agreement, it is more than 3 years. Whether Assessee need to Pay Capital gain tax as it is transferred with in 3 years from date of acquisition or whether he need not pay any tax as it was transferred after 3 years from date of development agreement.
What is the relevant date for Calculating CG Tax (Acquisition date or Agreement date)
Please Support with Case laws if any
Thanks in Advance....
