20 February 2011 The date of acquisition, in this case will be the date when the property is being registered in the name of Mr. X.

and 3 years holding period, for long term aasset, will be calculated from the date of its Registration.

20 February 2011 It appears that house was not transferred before complete payment and therefore, there will be short term capital gain.
