In para 8 on page no 13 of the impugned order, the Honourable Tribunal while dealing with the ground of appeal no 2 for allowing indexation on the basis of the lette (of allotment dated 23.12.2004 given by the builder in place of allowing indexation on the basis of the year of payment of installments, has stated that the Appellant to evade tax, has claimed indexation on the purchase price Rs. 2,03,36,000 from financial year 2004-05, that is, from the date of the first payment instead of claiming it in accordance with the schedule of payment.
