Provided that where separate circle rates for land and construction have not been notified in respect of certain buildings or properties, then circle rate for land and construction prevailing in that locality for other buildings or properties, in respect of which separate circle rates have been notified, shall be taken into consideration for the purpose of determination of value under this sub-rule:

Provided further that the value of works contract under this sub-rule shall not be less than the circle rate of construction applicable on the date on which agreement between the land-owner and the contractor for the construction of property was executed.

(5) For the purpose of clause (ii) of sub-rule (2), the cost of land in a works contract carried on by the developer for the intended purchaser shall be the highest of following:-

(i) Where separate conveyance/sale deed of the land has been executed between the developer and the intended purchaser, the consideration amount of land stated in that deed; or

(ii) Where separate conveyance/sale deed of the land has not been executed for transfer of land between the developer and the intended purchaser and transfer of land is mentioned in the conveyance deed of the constructed unit, then the value of land in the value of composite works contract shall be determined on the basis of notified circle rates of land prevailing at the time of execution of agreement between the developer and the intended purchaser:

Provided that where separate circle rates for land and construction have not been notified in respect of certain properties, then circle rate for land and construction prevailing in that locality for other properties in respect of which separate circle rates have been notified, shall be taken for the purpose of determination of value under this sub-rule:

Provided further that where land has been valued at circle rate and the value of conveyance/sale deed of the constructed unit with the intended purchaser exceeds the circle rate, then the difference between the two shall be proportionately divided between the value of land and the works contract (comprising material and services).

For example, in case of composite works contract, circle rate of land is Rs. 2 crore and circle rate of construction is Rs.1 crore, and the consolidated value of sale deed (inclusive of land and cost of construction) is Rs. 3.60 crore. Difference of Rs. 0.60 crore shall be divided in the ratio of 2:1; and thus, value of land for the purpose of this sub-rule shall be Rs. 2.40 crore.

Explanation:- (a) The term purchaser for the purpose of this sub-rule means the person who agrees to buy the property before completion of construction and pays the consideration, in full or part, before such completion.

(iv) in the case of works contract, where only a part of the total area to be constructed is being transferred, the charges towards the cost of land shall be calculated on a pro-rata basis through the following formula.

Proportionate super area multiplied by Value of land as

determined in this sub-rule

divided by

Total plot area multiplied by Floor Area Ratio

Explanations:

(a) Proportionate super area for the purpose of this clause means the covered area booked for transfer and the proportionate common area to be constructed, attributable to it.

(b) Floor Area Ratio = Total constructed area divided by Total Plot Area.

(6) In the case of works contract where only a part of total constructed area is being transferred, the deduction towards labour, services and other like charges mentioned in sub-rule (3) and input tax credit under section 8 of the Act shall be calculated on a pro-rata basis.
