Urgent Answer Required

Case for opinion:

A Co-iperative Housing Society is going in for redevelopment. Apart from additional area builder has agreed to give us Rs.1400 per sqft of existing carpet area as corpus fund. This amount is being given as a compensation and inconvinience caused to each member for shifting to another place.
This amount will be paid as follows
a. 15% at the time of execution of development agreement.
b. 10% on obtaining IOD from MCGM
C. 25% after 6 months from vacating
d. 25% at the time of giving the possession of new flat to the existing members.

If any member is buying additional area the additional amount will be adjusted from the corpus fund.

Kindly give us your opinion
1) as to whether the amount received will be a capital receipt or revenue receipt.
 2) Whether any tax will be payable on the receipts.- Please support with case laws if possible.
3) Whether we need to put any specific wordings in the agreement so that this amount is not subject to tax.
4) Whether there are any judgements against us.

Request you to give an exaustive opinion in writing. We will be circulating it to the members.

 

Since we are going in for redevelopment will we require to have a PAN card? Should I apply for PAN card?

As the amount is given in excahnge of old space is a part of corpus fund. Option is given for acquiring the additional space is a revenue receipt as the amount received is optional and conditional only on sale by the society. Amount adjusted against payable of corpus fund is only an adjustment  and does not alter the nature of receipt or payment as the consideration for additional space at option is always a revenue receipt. If option in the agreement does not exist for additional space and will be given to all of the members compulsorily out of the corpus fund then receipt is a capital receipt i.e. as a condition of shifting. payment of amount in stages 15% 10% 25% and 25% is also is a different aspect and does not matter whenthe amount.

Yes its an Capital Receipts in your hand and taxable under the capital gain as LTG.

Need information regarding share certificate of society members?
1. I would like to know, who will issue the share certificates for new members of new society? Builder or Society (but society not yet form)?

2. After society form, is it required builder to submit members transfer fees to society?.

Awaitng for reply from this forum.

Thanks,
Vinod

Ms Divya,

Reframe the question with full details. It is not clear why developer should pay for you  also you are indicating that you are shifting .

My understanding of case already you have flats and  developer want to take over the place and in return build new flats at another place for all the member of society and considering the land value of old falt he is compensating for all the members at the at the rate of Rs 1400 per sft.

Am I right in my assumption?

Pl reframe so  that you can get clear answer.
