The NOIDA Sector 21 Plot — Section 55(2)(b)
Historical acquisition records, comparable sales and a proposed fair-market-value assessment for an older authority-allotted plot.
A retired professor holds a 250 sq yd NOIDA-allotted residential plot in Sector 21. The supplied scenario records an allotment in 1991 for ₹2.6 lakh, possession in October 1992 and house construction in 1995. The property is described as well-maintained, with a proposed sale in 2026.
Valuation approach
The supplied case study proposes research into historical registered plot and house transactions in Sector 21 and nearby Sectors 22 and 27, focusing on the 2000–2002 period.
Six comparables involving 200–300 sq yd NOIDA plots with constructed houses, with stated consideration values of ₹28–42 lakh during 2000–2002.
The brief proposes assessing metro accessibility and other location differences using paired comparable transactions. The stated 9% adjustment and ₹40 lakh figure are scenario assumptions, not independently verified findings.

Illustrative capital gains comparison
| Illustrative calculation | Method A | Method B |
|---|---|---|
| Starting value stated | ₹40 lakh | ₹40 lakh |
| Calculation described | ₹40 lakh × 363 / 100 | ₹2.10 crore − ₹40 lakh |
| Illustrative gain stated | ₹64.8 lakh | ₹1.70 crore |
| Tax estimate stated in brief | ₹12.96 lakh | ₹21.25 lakh |
The above figures reproduce the supplied illustration and are not a tax computation or a recommendation. The applicable acquisition-cost option, indexation treatment, transfer date, tax rate, exemptions, deductions and surcharge/cess must be checked under the law applicable to the actual transaction. The stated ₹8.29 lakh difference should not be relied upon without that review.
Core valuation lesson: For older NOIDA plots, allotment and possession records, historical transaction evidence, improvements and the applicable capital gains framework should be examined together.
