Please clarify whether you had completed all the terms of auction on 24th December 2004? What was the reason for receiving the offer of possession on 17th January 2008? Subsequent compensation received by you shows that there was nothing pending from your side. However, please confirm this so that proper proper opinion can be given.
As per our view the date of allotment letter should be considered.
the interest shall be taken under income from other sources or shall be reduced from the cost.
You need to take sale proceeds minus the indexed cost of acquisition for calculation.
As per our view you need to pay tax on the gain.
