25 April 2025 I sold an apartment in a 30-year-old building after holding for 23 years in April 2025 to cover my daughter's marriage expenses. Can I show improvement costs after indexation to reduce LTCG? I had about 8 tenants during this 23-year tenure. For every new tenant, I got the apartment freshly painted with minor plumbing works like changing taps, doors, and commode, etc. Can I take these expenses for improvement costs?
During 2002, before occupying the apartment by doing a vastu pooja. I made a few alterations to the walls and included the balcony in the master bedroom to get more carpet area. Can these costs be included towards improvement?
Please advise In detail?
