Hi,

Hope you are doing well !

It is a long term capital gain.

To calculate the long-term capital gains tax payable, the following formula is to be used:

Long-term capital gain = full value of consideration received or accruing – (indexed cost of acquisition + indexed cost of improvement + cost of transfer), where:

Indexed cost of acquisition = cost of acquisition x cost inflation index of the year of transfer/cost inflation index of the year of acquisition.i.e.Rs. 50,09,174/-.

Indexed cost of improvement = cost of improvement x cost inflation index of the year of transfer/cost inflation index of the year of improvement.

Capital gain would be RS 88,40,825/-.(1,38,50,000-50,09,174)

And the amount of capital gain tax would be 20.8% of RS 88,40,825/- i.e. 18,38,891/-.

Hello Sir

Your capital gain will be calculated as follow:

Sale consideration less indexed cost of acquisition [1,38,50,000-(19,50,000×280÷109)]

Capital gain =88,40,825/-

Tax on long term capital gain is 20.80% i.e. 18,38,891/-.

You capital gain would be around 88.40 lacs. You will have to pay tax and surcharge @22.88% on this which works out to be 20.22 lacs.

You can save taxes by taking deductions u/s 54 to 54G

Hi,

Indexed cost of acquisition ia 19.5*280÷109=50.09 lakhs.

Capital gains = 1.385cr - 50.09 lakhs = 88.4 lakhs

Capital gains tax = ~18.4 lakhs

You can reinvest the capital gains in a residential property or in capital bonds to get exemption from the capital gains tax.
