Acquisition of properties have over the years changed to a format wherein the buyer enters into an agreement to acquire the property at the initial stages of development wherein a part of amount is paid upfront and the rest of the amount is paid subsequently in instalments. This is the usual situation when a flat is booked by the buyer at the initial stages of launch of the project. Subsequently when this property is sold by the said person there are issues with respect to date of acquisition as well as the indexation of cost of acquisition for the purpose of calculating capital gains in the hands of the assessee as the payment has been made in instalments during the construction of the property.
