Short term vs long term capital gains

Tax queries 583 views 2 replies

I got the possession of my flat in March 2007 (the possession letter was issued to me by the builder), but I got the registry done for this flat in Feb 2010. Now I plan to sell the flat in May 2012. What would be the holding period of this property. Would that come under short term or long term capital gains.

it will be Long-term capital asset. 

As registration is  not  considered.

under the head capital gain the period of holding is consider from the date of possession and not from the date of registry.

further this is coverd by the defination of transfer. this this assest is long term assest and if you wants to seel the same and if it is residential house propety than, for getting the exemption for this long term capital gain, invest or construct the house prperty or invest in the bond with in 6 month .

In case of investment in bond , maximum subject to 50 lacs
