Bought land from landlord's son. Due to reason money returned. Tax?
I am a tenant who entered into an agreement with the Landlord's son to buy my portion. Subsequently , another tenant turned up with a will of the landlord's father claiming title to the entire property. A lawsuit followed. I lost the suit and has decided to relinquish my tenancy right in this persons' favor. He has agreed to return the money that I paid to the landlord's son along with some extra consideration. I am a tenant from almost 1970s. What shall be the taxation treatment of this amount?

Tenancy rights is considered as a capital asset under the Income tax Act, 1961. Any consideration from relinquishment of such tenancy rights may result in capital gain taxation. However, it is understood that you are a tenant from 1970. Given such a scenario, the cost of acquisition needs to be ascertained in your hands. That would have an impact on your capital gain tax liability.
