05 October 2007 the dev. agreement is between the builder and society.
so the members of the society are not a party to the agreement.
the extra carper area share coming to each member is a capital receipt.the cost of flat surrendered will be deducted from out of total market value of the new total carpet area and rest taxable as capital gain.option either at indexation rate or flat rate is available.
amount received as appreciated value of enhanced property / taxes etc..is also taxable as capital
gain.when we surrender flat we dont pay muncipal tax on the same.
amount received as rent accommodation minus actual rent paid for accommodation during construction ( subject to proof)
is taxable as other income though it is a lumpsum amount.
