• Sale of a redeveloped property in Mumbai

Hi, This is a follow-up to my original question posted yesterday regarding the above topic. 

The redeveloped property has additional square footage ( original flat was 510 square foot...redeveloped flat has 748 square footage ). Is there a difference in the tax treatment for the additional square footage?

 Is the ready reckoner rate to be used based on April 2001 or June 2023, when the possession of the redeveloped property was received. Please confirm.

- What is the reason for increase in area?

- For SDV as on 01.04.2001, you can obtain valuation report from the registered valuer or from sub-registrar office

  1. Additional Square Footage: The increase in square footage doesn't directly affect capital gains tax. It's the overall sale price that matters. If you have costs associated with the additional space, include them in the improvement costs, potentially reducing your capital gain.

  2. Circle  Rate: Use the April 1, 2001, rate for calculating the indexed cost of acquisition, as the original date of property acquisition is generally considered for tax purposes, not the date of possession after redevelopment.

 

Please let me know if you need any other clarification!
