THE FINANCE BILL, 2017

Clause 25 of the Bill seeks to amend section 49 of the Income-tax Act relating to cost with reference to certain modes of acquisition.

It is proposed to insert a new sub-section (7) in the said section so as to provide that the cost of acquisition of the share in the project, in the form of land or building or both, as referred to in sub-section (5A) of section 45, not being the capital asset referred to in the proviso of the said sub-section, shall be the amount which is deemed as full value of consideration in that sub-section.

These amendments will take effect from 1st April, 2018 and will, accordingly, apply in relation to the assessment year 2018-2019 and subsequent years.
