Under a construction Business, If A Builder make a Development Agreement & POA with Land Owner for certain amount for more than 10 years & treated in his book as Stock in trade. The ownership of that land is with Land Owner or with Builder? Who is liable to pay wealth tax on that land? Land is urban Land having todays market value of 35 lakhs.

Dear Prashanth,
Absolutely Land ownership is helding with the land Owner. And it is also depend upon development agreement, please go through the complete JDA and POA you can also find out undivided interest which are alloted to the parties.
Wealth tax is depend upon their agreement, commonly it is duty of the land owner.
