07 July 2013 How can the cost of Rs 20 lakhs be added to cost of asset?
As per AS 10, we need to add the cost which is directly attributable to the cost of asset. This settlement payment is not direct right.
Pls clarify.

07 July 2013 This payment is made to establish your ownership right and to gain possession over the property.
Such a payment is a capital outflow and hence should be added to the cost of acquisition.

07 July 2013 Being practical, When the actual market value of the building is Rs 50 lakhs and buying from this buyer makes it Rs 70 lakhs, will the customer be willing to buy?

Will it affect the arms length?
