Only The Land owner is entitled to avail the deduction of section 80IAB and not the developers . The projected has to be approved by the Competent authority such as Municipal corporation etc and not the Income tax department

Answer ID : 76415

For construction of a building, plan etc of the building is required to be approved by the local authority i.e. Municipal Corporation or Municipality. Not from the Income tax department. Here the land owner has enter a JDA with a builder. Therefore benefit of 80IBA which is limited to land owners only would not be available since it is a case of JDA.
