Determination of acquisition year for Long-Term Capital Gains hinges on transfer effected by handing over possession in part performance; registration date does not shift the year of acquisition once possession and consideration were transferred, so the FY 1996-97 Cost Inflation Index applies. The tribunal rejects need for independent third party corroboration where no adverse material exists and accords evidentiary weight to the registered document.
