26 April 2010 Dear Nilesh, you can add the stamp duty and regn charges paid in the total purchase cost of flat i.e. capitalize the same.

Whenever you will sale the flat, you will be required to pay capital gain tax. You will get deduction in the form of additional purchase cost of flat as mentioned above.

Also if the flat is sold after three years, you will get benefit of indexation of such stamp duty and regn charges paid now.
