If the tenancy rights are also relinquished then in case you are receiving any compensation /consideration you will attract capital gains.
Sivadas Chettur (Chartered accountant) 24 September 2009
The tenancy right is also a capital asset and as such the sale will attract the capital gains levy. If cost cannot be ascertained it shall be taken as NIL.
Vineet (Director) 03 October 2009
The sale of tenancy rights will attract Long Term Capital Gains Tax with zero cost of acquisition.
However, if you have claimed depreciation on the structure, the difference between sale consideration and wdv of block of asset shall be trated and taxed as Short term capital asset. So please be mindful while assigning value to the structure as more the value, more you have to pat STCG tax which is higher than long term capital gains tax.
further you can claim exemptions agains the long term capital gain which are not available in the case of STCG.
