Confirm the Original Allotment
Identify the allotment date, original allottee, plot number, sector, plot area and relevant NOIDA Authority records. Check whether the property was subsequently transferred, inherited, subdivided or modified.
Understanding historical property cost and fair market value as of 1 April 2001 for eligible NOIDA Authority plot owners.
If you or your family received a NOIDA Authority plot before 1 April 2001, historical allotment records and the property's value at the relevant date may be important when reviewing capital-gains calculations. The right starting point is to establish the allotment history, available evidence and the valuation purpose.
Led by Nitesh Shrivastava, Civil Engineer, A2Z Valuers helps property owners understand the valuation requirements relevant to their assignment.
For an eligible asset acquired before 1 April 2001, the tax rules may permit the taxpayer to consider fair market value as of 1 April 2001 instead of the actual cost, subject to the applicable law and conditions. A valuation report is one part of the supporting documentation, not a guarantee of a particular tax result.
Identify the allotment date, original allottee, plot number, sector, plot area and relevant NOIDA Authority records. Check whether the property was subsequently transferred, inherited, subdivided or modified.
Where the applicable provisions permit this option, the assessment focuses on the property's fair market value on the relevant historical date. The valuation approach depends on the property, the available historical evidence and applicable requirements.
Your chartered accountant or tax adviser can assess whether the historical valuation option applies, how the cost basis should be treated and what supporting documents are needed for the capital-gains calculation.
The applicable tax law, acquisition history, asset eligibility and transitional provisions must be checked for the relevant transaction and assessment year. Do not assume that every pre-2001 allotment automatically qualifies for a particular cost-basis treatment.
Share the sector, allotment year and available records to discuss the valuation scope.
Organise the available documents before discussing a Section 55(2)(b) valuation. If a record is missing, mention that at the outset so the next steps can be considered realistically.
