21 March 2008 My friend owns three grounds of land (Ancestral Property). He entered into an joint venture agreement with a builder for construction of houses (Not Flats). He transfers 60% of rights on the land to the builder and gets two separate constructed houses for his own use and some share in cash. He also sold one house through POA to third party with in a span of two years of handing over of the possession by the builder. Now the question is whether the houses constructed through JV agreement can be utilised for climing exemption u/s.54. Whether it is a LTCG or STCG?
