hi, well advance and earnest money forfeited by assesse is a capital receipt and should be deducted from cost of acquisition when such asset is sold afterward. but if such asset is gifted instead of selling then in hands of new owned such forfeited amount is not deducted as he did not received income.. my question is if asset gifted what treatment will be given to advance money forfeited by original owner??

ok it implies that capital receipt is not liable to tax .. so why we deduct it from cost of acquisition at the time of calculating capital gain in case original buyer sells the property? sorry to bother you
