Finance Act 2017 has introduced sub-section 5A to Sec 45 which provides for chargeability of capital gains on transfer of capital asset being land or building or both under a specified agreement in the hands of assessee being individual or HUF(here in after referred as eligible transferor).
This section overrides the provisions of section 45(1) to the extent of year of chargeability as it is postponed to the year in which Certificate of Completion (COC) for whole or part of the project is issued rather than the year in which capital asset was transferred.
