Hello sir, i had bought a flat in 2010 at the final cost of 33 lacs approx. i gotthe posession of the flat in july 2017, meaning i had settled all the payments with the builder and he provided me an NDC. I am selling this flat now in oct 2018 for 48.5 lacs. Please help me understand, if the tax will be long term capital gain or short term. Also, i had taken a loan of 20 lacs in 2010 when i had booked this flat and i am still paying th EMI. If, short term capital gain tax applies to this transaction, what would be the final tax amount.
Hi,
I have also heard that according to Income tax law we can claim the interest paid on the property as a cost of acquisition as well. I am selling my property which I bought in 2007 for 21 Lakhs. However, I have paid close to 20 Lakhs as the interest to the bank since then and closed the loan in 2015. If I say sell it for 42 Lakhs my capital gains as per the 2017 Indexation shows as below.
Difference between sale and purchase price: 2100000
CII of the Purchase Year: 2007 month: Feb : 122
CII of the Sale Year: 2017 month: Dec : 272
Purchase Indexed Cost:4681967.21
Difference between sale and indexed purchase price: -481967.21
Long Term Capital Gain Tax with indexation (at 20%):-96393.44
From 1 Apr 2017 Long term Capital Gain on Real Estate is after 2 years
But I have also incurred 20 lakhs loss in terms of paying interest on the housing loan on this property. How should we deduct that loss will it be part of the acquisition which will be 21 lakhs I paid to purchase the property in 2007 + 20 Lakhs I have paid as Interest and 1 lakh I have easily spent on maintenance and repairs.
If I go by the above calculation I have not gained anything by selling this property hence my capital gains should be 0. Can you comment on this if I calculating correctly or not? I have taken this info from a different website where the high courts have given the judgment on a couple of cases in the past.
We have a couple of case laws in which legal authorities have declared that interest can be considered as cost of acquisition in case of property acquisition.
a. CIT Vs. K. Raja Gopala Rao (2001 252 ITR 459 Mad)
This case concerns sale of a hotel property and the court declared that the interest on capital borrowed for the purpose of acquisition of the property shall be considered as cost of acquisition.
Payment of consideration for the sale indisputably having been made with the borrowed funds, the borrowing directly related to the acquisition and, interest paid thereon would form part of the cost of acquisition.
b. CIT Vs. Sri Hariram Hotels (P.) Ltd. (2010 229 CTR 455 Kar)
The Tribunal after hearing the parties and having considered the case of the assessee held that out of the borrowed loan from the directors, the property has been acquired and any interest paid thereon would also be accounted towards the cost of acquisition of the asset.
Yes you are right about the cases.
there is a view that even if such interest has been allowed as a deduction, such interest can also be claimed as a part of the cost of acquisition of the house in computing the capital gains when the house is sold. This view is, however, controversial, and there have been conflicting views of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal in this regard.
Bangalore bench of the tribunal took a contrary view, holding that such interest on housing loan is not deductible in computing the capital gains, in a situation where the interest has been claimed as a deduction while computing income from house property.
The Bangalore tribunal relied upon a decision of the Karnataka High Court in the context of interest on a loan taken for the acquisition of shares, at a point of time when the dividends were taxable, and interest on loans taken for acquisition of shares was allowable as a deduction against such dividends. The Karnataka High Court had held that if the interest had been allowed as a deduction against the dividends, it would not form part of the cost of acquisition of the shares.
There are, therefore, conflicting judicial views on the subject. There is a decision of the Supreme Court, which has held that normally a double deduction cannot be presumed, but must be expressly provided for.
Today, the position is that claiming an expenditure both under the head ‘income from house property’ as well as in computing the capital gains for such interest on housing loan would certainly invite litigation, as the matter would be disputed by the tax authorities, possibly all the way up to the Supreme Court. One would, therefore, have to weigh the benefit in possible tax saving, against the costs of litigation. The case in favour of the taxpayer is stronger when the taxpayer has paid interest in excess of the limit of Rs.2 lakh. Since the excess interest would not have been allowed as a deduction, the claim of such expenditure as a part of the cost of acquisition of the house would not amount to a double deduction.
Sir, Actually my mother has brought a vacant land in Bangalore in 1995. All most 22 years land. Now we are trying to sell the land for Rs. 30,00,000/- to one of the party.

PROVISION OF INDEXATION IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE CALCULATOR
Could you explain the question?
Sir, I’ve purchased a house in Nov-1986 for Rs. 165,000
Now I’m selling this house for 70,00,000 (in June-2017)
Could you please help me how to calculate LTCG using Index?
If base year for CII has changed to FY 2001-02, then how to calculate its value upto 2000-01?
Do I need to make a Valuation Report with some registered Valuer?
I’m really confused. Hope you will be kind to assist me and oblige.
Hi
Thanks for the calculator.
It should however be programmed to take in cost of improvement over the years and arrive at total cost of acquisition as indexed cost of purchase + indexed cost of improvement .
Thanks for feedback.
We shall update it.
not clear.
where is the cost inflation index to be applied
this calculatior is for shares what about sale of house
Change the investment type to Real estate as shown in the image.
The calculation is correct.
suggestion
break up the cost into acquisition cost and improvement cost
add option to add TDS @ 1% which is compulsory
calculate net tax payable and/or refund to be claimed
the shares are of unlisted company. how could be tax be zero?
Yes Sir.
income arising from the transfer of unlisted shares, irrespective of the period of holding, would be taxable under the head Capital Gain
Capital gains on sale of unlisted shares attract long term capital gain tax at 20 percent with indexation benefit.
We have to update our Calculator
I have inherited a plot from my father who purchased it from his own income in the year 2006. Currently the property is inherited by me as per the will and I intend to sell the same. Please advise what will be considered as the date of acquisition of the property, whether the original year when my father purchased or the year in which it was transferred to me. How indexation is calculated in this condition.
Dear Sir,
I have a flat in Chennai which I purchased in June 2007 for Rs.55 lakhs. Now (Feb 2017) I planned to sell this flat for Rs.1 crore.
With this money I want to construct my house immediately in Kottakuppam near Pondicherry.
I was working in Chennai until two years before. Now I am working in Pondicherry.
And I bought a ground in Kottakuppam close to Pondicherry with my provident fund money two years back.
Now the issue is the purchaser like to pay part payment. That is he like to pay Rs.30 lakhs in this month and remaining in 3 months time.
How will I show it in my Tax return filing?
Please note as per capital gain calculation (taken from your website)
Gain Type: Long Term Capital Gain
Difference between sale and purchase price: 4500000
CII of the Purchase Year: 2007 month: Jun : 551
CII of the Sale Year: 2016 month: Dec : 1125
Purchase Indexed Cost:11229582.58
Long-term capital gain = Selling Price – Indexed cost = 10000000 – 11229582.58
Difference between sale and indexed purchase price: -12,29582.58 (so it is negative)
Long Term Capital Gain Tax with indexation (at 20%):= ?
This is my doubt. Do I need to pay any tax? And also advise is the tax calculation only on gains than what about principal amount. In my case Principal amount is Rs.55 lakhs so in that no tax? or any tax?
Also advise how to show in Tax return if this 1 crore selling price is given in two part payment one in this financial year and another in next financial year.
pls do help,
bought a land on 2004 for 1500000 and sold on 2016 for 9150000.

now want to calculate capital gain for the above land.
Dear sir,
I would really appreciate if you could answer my query here.
I bought an under-construction flat in June 2012 for Rs 40 lakh and got possession in January 2015. During this time I paid Rs 7.5 lakh as interest on my home loan which I started claiming in my IT return after I got possession; so to claim this 7.5 lakh as deduction in next 5 financial years, I started claiming as deduction Rs 1.5 lakh each year(in IT return submitted for year 2014-15 and 2015-16). Now, in Sept 2016, I sold this property.
My question is can I still claim remaining(1.5 lakh X 3 years) interest as deduction for next 3 years when I submit my IT return?
Hi, please advice me on below transaction. I purchased gold worth Rs 1,14,996.00 on 12th March 2011. And sold it for 1,52,906.00 on 18th May 2016. Have valid bill details & all transactions done through Bank. Please some one advice me if I need to declare capital gain/loss in my income tax return for current year. If yes what will be my gain/loss.
Hi readers, can someone clear my doubt. I sold few of employee options in my previous company (listed in SIX) in 2010. That time my salary (total gross) was 2,32,280 INR PA and I received 1,34,000 INR after sale of options. Then my employer deducted the tax of ~15,500 INR for that year as TDS under short term capital gains clause. These shares were allocated in 2008 and the transaction happened in 2010. It was cashless transaction (meaning buying value will be deducted from selling value on the same day). Is it correct or I can apply for refund?
Why would you want to report 2010 cashless transactions now. Did you not file your ITR for 2010-2011.
Money was finally credited into your account right?

Hello Sir,
My questions are regarding, can I avail Capital Gain Exemption on my new property?
I have sold a land in the month of January, 2016 and now willing to purchase a flat/apartment which is under construction, as per the the builder agreement date will be mentioned on the agreement as May, 2107.
This new property which I’m willing to purchase costs 2 times more than property sold (in the month of January, 2016).
Therefore, I wish to add my son as co-applicant and take loan on his name for the additional cost of the new property.
Also, as per the Home Loan schemes offered by banks, if a woman is added in the list of applicant, my son will get a rebate of 0.05%.
My questions are mentioned below:
1 – Can I purchase a property of higher value than the sold property ?
2 – Can I purchase a property with my son taking loan on the remaining amount ? Is it important that my name on the agreement paper should appear as First Name and My Son as co-applicant.
3. Can I purchase a property with my son, my wife, daughter-in-law & myself as all being the owner of the property?
4. Is my name compulsory to be on the agreement as first applicant to avail the Capital Gain tax Exemption?
Looking forward to hearing on this ?

How to calculate capital gain on purchase and sale of shares, if purchase date and price not known, it is demat form and it has been sold.
You can get details from the broker or demat statement.
If you hold shares for more than 12 months it is long term capital gain and free of tax.
If you hold shares for less than 12 months it is added to income and taxed as per your income slab.
I bought a flat in Nov 2011 for Sale deed 24 lakhs , i took bank loan for 20 lakhs and paid in cash 4 lakhs , and now selling it for 27 Lakhs in July 2016, the reason for sale is becaouse i moved to different city and the locality the flat is situated is not doing good in the market. Not much of an increase in the square foot rate.
When i do the capital gain calculation it is coming out in negative. What does this mean and what is the impact of this , can any one help.
It means that you have capital loss. You don’t have to pay and you can carry forward your loss.

Hi,
I was calculating for Real estate.
As per my findings, shouldn’t the formula for Taxable capital gain be
= Long Term Capital Gain – Indexed Cost of Acquisition.
Taking example;
Purchased property – 30,00,000 in 2000
Sale value – 2,00,00,0000 (2 crores) in 2016
Indexed cost of acquisition = 30,000,000*(406/1125) = 83,12,807.88
Long term Capital gain = 2,00,00,000.00 – 83,12,807.88 = 1,16,87,192.12
Taxable Capital Gain = 1,16,87,192.12 – 83,12,807.88 = 33,74,384.24
Tax @20% = 33,74,384.24 * 20% = 6,74,876.85
The above calculation is based on findings from different websites.
Kindly let me know if there is any mistake.
Please let is know the websites where you found the info.
Example from MintHow to calculate the indexed cost of property acquisition
Say, you bought a house in 2001-02 for Rs.25 lakh, and then constructed another floor for Rs.10 lakh, in 2005-06. Then, in 2013-14, you sold the house for Rs.90 lakh. As the property was held for more than three years, it will be considered a long-term capital asset. So, you should first calculate the indexed cost of acquisition by applying CII on the cost of purchase, i.e., Rs.25 lakh. You can find the CII values on http://www.incometaxindia.gov.in. In the example, CII is 426 and 939 for the years of purchase and sale, respectively. So, indexed cost of acquisition would be Rs.55,10,563 [Rs.25,00,000 * (939/426)]. In the same way, adjust additional construction cost against inflation. CII for the year in which the new floor was added is 497. So, the indexed cost for this will be Rs.18,89,336 [10,00,000 * (939/497)]. Hence, the total cost of property acquisition would Rs.73,99,899 (Rs.55,10,563 + Rs.18,89,336). Accordingly, your LTCG would be Rs.16,00,101 (Rs.90,00,000 – Rs.73,99,899). This is the amount on which LTCG tax will apply.

Sir updated the calculator for 2016. Thanks for informing us
My husband bought a land for 17,000/ in 1988. He died . My son And i became legal heirs. If i sell that land for 25 lac now and use half of it for his wedding, how much capital gain tax i must pay
Sale deed for purchase of my flat is dated 10-Mar-2006, but took possession of the same from the builder in Nov 2006. Should I consider CII for year of purchase as 519 (ie FY 2006-2007 based on flat possession date) or 497 (ie FY 2005- 2006 based on registration date) when I calculate the indexed cost of acquisition?
There is major confusion with it.
Date of purchase of the house for the purpose of claim-ing deduction u/s.54 would be the date on which the assessee takes possession of the house and not the date of registration of the sale deed
I was using the calculator for determining capital gains on the following inputs

When possible, kindly update the year options to 2016. While trying to use the capital gains calculator for a sale in Jan 2016 ,the year options are only till 2015.So calculation of capital gains tax for sales in 2016 will be difficult.Thanks for your website
Thanks for the suggestion we had ignored Jan – Mar 2016. Will do so ASAP.
My father purchased a property in 21/5/2010 worth of 283000 and he registered the property to me through sales deeds not through gift, in sales deeds property value is written as 718000 on 30/4/2013. Income notice has come regarding capital gain tax. Is there any way to prove that there is no money transferred in this case and it’s been registered to son by father and if so will it save the capital gain tax?
Hi . Recently While conversing with one of my friend , I was told that If I hold a residential household property and sell it after 3 years and use the LTCG to buy Stock ( Equity) , I could save from paying tax with one of the Section 54 . Could you please clarify on this ? Bought a Household property 2006 and intend to sell this year 2016.
Short answer. No you cannot save tax on selling residential property by investing in Stocks or Equity.
Detailed explanation is given below.
If a property is sold after three years from the date of purchase, the profit is treated as a long-term capital gain and is taxed at 20% after indexation. The indexation of purchase price helps to reduce the net capital gain, thereby slashing the tax burden for the seller. Our article How to Calculate Capital gain on Sale of House? discusses it in detail.
When you sell your house, you are liable to pay tax . The tax paid on the amount of capital gains is called Capital Gains Tax. The sale proceeds will be calculated on the basis of the valuation adopted by the state’s Stamp Duty and Registration Authority and will not be the amount mentioned in the deed of conveyance. This is intended to cover the cases where a portion of the sale price is received by the seller as unaccounted for cash.You can save the capital gain tax in 3 ways.
Purchasing Another Property : The Income tax act allows exemption on capital gains to the extent these have been invested in purchasing a new house property.
You have to invest the amount of capital gains and not the entire sale proceeds.
The sale proceeds should be invested only in a residential property, not a commercial property or a vacant plot of land.
You should not own more than one house and in India (from AY 2015-16)
You can claim tax exemption under Section 54 on the long-term capital gain on the sale of a house by using the entire profit to either buy another house within two years or construct one in three years. If you had already bought a second house within a year before selling the first one, you could still avail of the tax exemption. The date of commencement of the construction of the new house is not material. To get the benefit of section 54,you must construct the new house within the prescribed period from the date of sale of the old house.
Section 54F gives you exemption from the capital gains if you sell any asset. But, the new property is a residential property.
By Investing in Capital Gains Account Scheme : If capital gains have not been invested in a property, the gains can be deposited by opening a capital gains account in a PSU bank or other banks as per the Capital Gains Account Scheme, 1988. This deposit can then be claimed as an exemption from capital gains, and no tax has to be paid on it.
Purchasing Capital Gains Bonds : If you do not intend to purchase another property, then tax can be saved on capital gains, buy investing them in certain bonds under Section 54 (EC) within six months of selling the house . Bonds issued by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) or Rural Electrification Corporation (REC) have been specified for this purpose. These are redeemable after 3 years and must not be sold before the lapse of 3 years from the date of sale of the house property. However, you can invest only up to Rs 50 lakh.

The calculations are fine.
As the Long term capital gains are more than exemption limit for senior citizen 3 lakh so the capital gain of 14,36,504-3,00,000 ie 11,36,504 will be taxable.
-You said parents and then just ask about your mother.
-Have you got the house renovation done some time, if yes if you have records you can claim it. It would bring down the tax.

Capital gain can be deposited in bank max upto-3 years.
At the time of closure of all accounts, the depositor will have to produce specific authority letter/ certificate from the Income Tax Officer of the respective jurisdiction. The closure would be allowed on the terms mentioned in the letter of authority.

I have purchased a land at a cost of Rs 30,000/-in 1982 and sold it in this year at Rs 40,00,000/-. Please tell me how much tax will I pay.
I have purchased a house in 1990 @Rs1,20,000 and now selling the same @Rs26,27,000 in 2015. But I have also done lot of construction approx Rs5,00,000 after I have purchased my property in 1991. How will the same taken into consideration for computation of Capital Gain. And how much will be my LTCG.
I have purchased a land at a cost of Rs 200/-in 1965 and sold it in this year at Rs One Crore. Please tell me how much tax will I pay.
You have replied to me, But I am to say that I want to purchase some lands at a cost of Rs 60,00,000 out of that. So how much shall i pay Income Tax.
I have purchased a land at a cost of Rs 200/-in 1965 and sold it in this year at Rs One Crore. Please tell me how much tax will I pay.
Since land has been acquired prior to 1 April 1981, you have an option of taking the actual cost of acquisition (Rs.200) or the fair market value of the property as on 1 April 1981. Since it is an old property acquired before 1 April 1981, CII of base FY82 (i.e. 100) should be considered for cost of acquisition. LTCG will be computed as difference between net sales proceeds and indexation cost of acquisition and improvement, if any.

sir,
mera interest income & short term capital gain income 250000 se kum hai to mujhe INCOME TAX RETURN file karna padega kya.so pls tell me urgently.
Aapka total income kitna hain? Income tax sum of 5 different types of income par lagta hain
I bought a property in 2011 for Rs 46 lacs and sold it in 2015 for Rs 60 lacs. Considering CII indexation of 785 in 2011-12 and 1081 in 2015-16, the indexed cost comes out to be around Rs 63 lacs, so I have negative capital gain.
Do I need to pay any capital gain tax here?
If not, can I use this Rs 60 lacs received in making some non-real estate buy like buying a car and planning an abroad vacation without violating any tax law?
Also, I have paid 1% TDS in this transaction, as i have negative capital gain, is TDS applicable for refund to me?
Yes you do not need to pay any capital gain as you have a loss of around 66 thousand
Long term capital loss is 20% of the loss i.e 20% of 3 lakh
So you need not invest sale proceeds in buying the house or investing in bonds under section 54, 54F, 54EC of income tax or by putting in Capital Gain Account Scheme (CGAS)
The Long term capital loss can be adjusted only with the long term capital gains. So if you cannot adjust it this year you can carry forward it to the next eight years and adjust if there is any long term capital gains. our article Capital Loss on Sale of House discusses it in detail with examples.
Yes you can ask for refund of TDS
Thanks, appreciate your response.
My father bought land for 1 lakh (1991) and sold for 36 lakh (2015)
It was in the name of myself and my brother .
I got 18 lakh and another half gone to my brother account.
I have used this money to settle my home loan in 2015 for 14 lakh (Flat booked in 2012 – Home loan started in 2013)
I have left with 4 lakh remaining which i will use to settle the demand of the builder for the same flat – 2012.
I am in 30% bracket of around 13 lakh income group (paying 1.6 lakh income tax)
– Will my above transaction that i have used land proceeds money towards settling my home loan will qualify for NO capital gain property tax on me?
– I have left with 4 lakh in saving account,can i use it for short term FD in bank,as demand letter from builder is very slow?
No sadly paying home loan does not take care of capital gain on selling of land/property.

Thanx a lot
My Mother has purchased a house in 1988 for Rs60,000/- and sold it at Rs22,00,000 The difference after indexation is Rs18lakhs. The LTCG (20%)is coming around Rs3.6lakhs.
Now my father has an old residential house in another city and we want to construct it I have following query
1-Will my mother get benefit of Tax exemption for construction of this house.
2-If construction is done by builder what proof do we require for tax exemption purposes.
3-My mother doesn’t file ITR so will she need to file for the same.
1. The capital gain should be invested in the purchase of another house either one year before or within two years from the date of transfer, or used for construction of a house within three years of the date of transfer.
2. Paying my cheque to builder would be proof, bills etc.
3. As LTCG is more than 2.5 lakh/3 lakh the exemption limit she would have to file ITR if she is less than 80 years of age
Thanks for your kind revert, one small query is still left

My mother age is 65 what will be her tax computation.
And how much she needs to pay tax.
long-term capital gain attracts a flat tax rate of 20% it is not dependant of one’s age.
There is no special treatment while taxing capital gain income of of an senior citizen. except of getting higher slab of initial exemption as provided by Finance Act.
You cannot claim regular tax deductions against long-term capital gains. Tax on such gains has to be computed separately. If your total income is below the tax exemption limit , only the part of long-term capital gains above the exemption limit will be taxed.
The Income Tax Act exempts the capital gains from the sale of a house if the taxpayer invests the gains in a residential property within two years from the date of sale or constructs another house within three years from the date of sale. This means, you cannot invest in a commercial property or land to save tax – you have to necessarily buy residential property only. If the property is under construction, the two-year period is further enhanced to three years. However, you should not own more than one house, besides the house you are investing in.
Bhaskar apologies for wrong answer. We checked Only a resident individual/HUF can adjust the exemption limit against LTCG. Thus, a non-resident individual and non-resident HUF cannot adjust the exemption limit .
Ex:Mr. Kapoor (age 67 years and resident) is a retired person. He purchased a piece of land in December, 2010 and sold the same in August, 2015. Taxable long-term capital gain on
such sale amounted to Rs. 1,84,000. Apart from gain on sale of land, he is not having any other income. What will be his tax liability for the year 2015-16?
*
For resident individual of the age of 60 years and above but below 80 years, the basic exemption limit is Rs. 3,00,000. Further, a resident individual can adjust the basic
exemption limit against LTCG. In this case, LTCG of Rs. 1,84,000 can be adjusted against the basic exemption limit. In other words, Mr. Kapoor can adjust the LTCG on
sale of land against the basic exemption limit. Considering the above discussion, the tax liability of Mr. Kapoor for the year 2015-16 will be nil.
Dear Sir,
I bought a 3BHK flat near Whitefield Bangalore that was registered on December 19, 2006 for Rs. 6,90,000 with the registration charges being around Rs. 59,000. I had taken a home loan of Rs. 8,90,000 for this purpose of which about Rs. 2,90,000 is still outstanding. I bought another independent house that was registered on November 3rd 2014 for Rs, 44,00,000 and I have a loan of Rs. 43,50,000 running on this current house (Both the homeloans are jointly in the name of me and my wife). To reduce the burden of this new home loan I decided to sell my flat bought in 2006 for Rs. 32,00,000 and the registration will take place by this month end (December 2015). I want to pay the proceeds of this sale to the new loan account to reduce the burdern. Please let me know if I am liable to pay Long term capital gains tax on this transaction if I pay the entire proceeds (that is after deduction of about 2.9 lakhs of my old loan outstanding) towards my current loan of 43.5 Lakhs. If yes, how much would be my tax burden and any other way that I can reduce my tax burden as well as loan burden.

Sir long term capital gain on real estate comes into play after 3 years of holding. As your holding period would be less than 3 years you would have to pay short term capital gains.
Hello Sir,
I have purchased the property in year 2014 Feb and I will be selling the same may be in few months.
I need to know, I might be making profit of near about 15 lks.
So next time I will have to invest entire amount x+15lk to purchase Or I can utilize some amount for my personal use and for remaining amount I will go for purchasing another property.
Please if someone could explain.
Thanks,

Hi , I have the following details.
Difference between sale and indexed purchase price: 985395.19 and Long Term Capital Gain with indexation (at 20%):197079.04. I am interested to construct my old inherited house after demolition, which shall cost 15 L. Shall I get the exemption OR I need to invest full sale price to get the exemption.
To claim the capital gain:
You should purchase the residential house within a period of one year before or two years after the date on which the transfer took place or construct a residential house within 3 years of such transfer.
So yes you can claim Capital gain i,e 197079.04 to claim the exemption. You do not have to invest the sale price.
can anybody solve this problem? urgent

Shares held in unlisted companies were earlier classified as LTCA if held for more than 12 months and were eligible for a concessional rate of tax at 20%. However, as per Finance Act 2014, these shares would now qualify as LTCA only if they are sold after 36 months instead of 12 months, which means that shares held for more than 12 months but less that 36 months would now qualify as STCA. The gain arising on such sale of securities would be taxed at progressive rates of tax as applicable, instead of the beneficial rate of 20%.

Hi
This is regarding a piece of land which was purchased by my brother and his friend, the property is in my brothers name, My brother passed away and he doesnt have any dependants since he did not marry.
The legal hiers are my parents
50% of the land need to be given to my brother’s friend, the property was purchased 20 years back for 7 lakhs and the current value is around 90 lakhs,
My brothers friend will register paying registration fee and i would like to know what will be the tax implication since here no money transaction has happened.
Appreciate if you can suggest best way to settle the process
Please define Purchase Price and Sell Price,
Example for 100 shares:
Net Purchase Price = Buy value[100 x rate]+ Brokerage + STT
Net Sell Price = Sell value[100 x rate]- Brokerage – STT
If shares purchased on 01-Jan-2014 and sold on 01-Jan-2015, it should be Long Term Capital Gain.
But this calculator says Short Term.
Superb inairmftoon here, ol’e chap; keep burning the midnight oil.

Your calculator is good. Please add current year under sale year i.e 2015-16.
Sir
I have purchased shares in 2012-13. I got loss in those shares. I did not mention these transactions in IT returns. I got notice from incometax dept. How can I produce these IT returns. I am a salaried person. Today has been made by my Drawing and disbursement officer. Please guide me how to file IT returns. Thank you very much sir.
The calculator sale date doesn’t show this financial year 2015 and only up to 2014. Please update the calculator. Also, you had indicated in your reply for one of my previous posts that non-indexed option of 10% tax for real estate sales is not allowed and only 20% tax with indexation allowed for Real Estate transactions for long term capital gain tax calculations. Please highlight this point when people select “real Estate Property” as the asset class for calculating long term capital gains tax for clarifications purpose

a open plot purchase Rs335000 april 2005 and sale 400000 in dec 2014 about capital gain tax
hii kirti,
very useful calculator. but it seems it doesnt take into consideration security transaction tax into account.
Thanks for input.
You do not seem to have taken into account, the intermediate expenses involved, such as Registration, brokerage,taxes etc., before the property is sold. These expenses are taken into account towards the cost of the property and are NOT included in ‘capital gain tax’.
Thanks for input. We have tried to make a general one so did not include it.
So you want the Registration, brokerage,taxes etc to be input which should be subtracted from the Selling cost or added to Purchase cost.
purchase of real estate in 1985 is 18000 & sales in 2008 is 80000, what will be the indexed purchase of it. I calculate , 80000*582(cii of 2008)/133(cii of 1985) = 350075 but your calculator displaying something else
Indexation is applied to Purchase Price so it becomes 18,000 * 582/133 =78766.91
Hence Difference between Sale and Indexed Pruchase Price in 2008 = 80,000 – 78766.91 = 1233.08
Long Term Capital gains on it would be 20% of Diff = .2 * 1233.08= 246 Rs
ohhh thnk you sooooooooooo much I thought the indextion is applied to sales price thts why I faced problem……….
Thanks for the effort, this is big help. I need some clarification
I am in the process of selling my apartment purchased on 10th March 2003 for total consideration of Rs 12.48 lacs this includes Rs 1.5 lacs towards woodwork, painting etc. I am selling this in June 2015 for Rs 70 lacs + Rs 10 lacs towards fitting and fixtures ie total 80 Lacs

I have already made payments of Rs 25 lacs from own funds and plan to pay the balance amount from the sale proceeds. Am I exempted for capital gains tax
Also if the possession for the new apt is delayed but I have made the payments will this be considered as payment r do I need to show registery for the new apt.
Also I understand that I need to buy an aot 1 year before or within 2 year after the sale, what dates are considered for buying is date of allottment when I paid the booking amount or any other

brokerage of share can I minus from purchase value , for short term capital gain Tax ? if I bought 01 share Rs 100 brokerage is rs 2 and sold
rs 120 brokerage is Rs 2.4 . profit Rs 20 , for short term c.tax canI
minus brokerage from profit Rs2 +Rs2.4 = Rs 4.4 SC ,stamp duty,can minus
Dear Mr Amiya, the purchase value of shares will include the brokerage paid on the same, hence in your case the purchase value is Rs 102 and the brokerage on sales would be reduced from sales value ie the net sales is Rs 117.6. Hence the short term capital gain is Rs (117.6-102=15.6).
And depending upon the nature of transaction, the Stamp duty borne by you can be added to the purchase value or reduced from sales value.
pl suggest books on capital gain
Any income tax book would be good enough.
What do you want to learn? You can start with
Income tax booklet by Income tax office If for year 2013 so some rules ex tax on debt and gold funds have changed
There are free videos also on youtube for ex Capital Gains Under the Indian Income Tax Act – Part II CA, CS and ICWA
STCG on equity and equity oriented funds are taxed @ 15%, STCG on other assets are taxed as per slabs.
Now can a loss from one be set off against the other? Even if they are under different tax brackets?
Short ans is yes. In the same Assessment year you can adjust loss among different types of Income.
Now for the long ans from Capital Loss on Sale of House
In case of Loss also Income Tax Act allows one to set off loss(es) and/or carry forward of income under sections 70-80. The process of setting of loss on income (on any kind of income – income from other sources, real estate) and their carry forward is covered in following steps:
Step 1 Inter source adjustment under the same head of income.
Step 2 If Loss cannot be offset under Step 1.Inter head adjustment in the same Assessment Year.
Step 3 If Loss cannot be offset under Step 1 and 2, Carry forward of a loss.
Loss from transfer of a short term Capital Asset can be set off against gain from transfer of any other capital asset (Long Term or Short Term) in the same year.
Loss from transfer of a Long term Capital Asset can be set off against gain from transfer of any other long term Capital Asset in the same year.
If there is still loss it can be carried forward to next assessment year. In the next year, the STCL can be set off against any gains from transfer of any capital asset (Long term or Short term) and the LTCL can be set off against gains from transfer of long term capital asset only. Any unabsorbed loss after such set off can be further carried forward to next assessment year. A loss for a particular year can be carried forward only if the income tax return for that year is filed by the due date. Capital loss computed in an assessment year can be carried forward for eight assessment years and set off as above.
STCG is taxed @ 15% separately than the other CG items.But the Act prescribes that the STCL arising out of the same source ie. sale of equity shares can be set off against the taxable short-term capital gain (STCG) or long-term capital gain (LTCG), if any, resulting from sale of any capital asset in the same financial year. If it cannot be done in the same financial year, then the balance STCL can be carried forward to subsequent eight years.The said STCL can be carried forward only and only when the ITR is filed on or before time.
Hi,
I had purchased a flat when it was in an underconstruction in March 2012 and got the possession in March 2013. Now I am planning to sell my flat in March 2015. I took the home loan so paid huge interest to bank, now I would like to understand the following before taking a decision to sell the property. Kindly help me with this-
1. to decide the short term and Long term gain, booking date is considered or possession date is considered
2. To calculate the net gain will they consider paid interest till date, example (sell price – purchased price – interest paid)
3. If I invest in another property, can I get the tax relief
Regards,
Ashish
Sorry for delay in replying Ashish. Somehow the comment got missed.
Determining the date of purchase of flats under financing schemes is a matter of debate and there are conflicting views on the subject.
One view is that while calculating capital gains, the date of allotment is taken as the date of acquisition.By getting the allotment letter, the individual is construed to have received the right to that property; the payment of instalment is merely a follow-up action. Therefore, in your case, the capital gains should be long term in nature on the basis of the date of allotment. The allotment letter should have the details of the flat in the proposed building, your name as the purchaser of the property or one that gives you unconditional rights to dispose of the property.
But if you have availed home loan please note that
If you took property on home loan, claimed the tax deduction for the principal under Section 80C and property is sold within five years, the tax benefits will be reversed. The entire tax deduction ,for repayment of principal component of the home loan ,claimed in earlier years under section 80c , will be considered as your income (in addition to capital gains) in the year in which you sell the property. However, the housing loan interest deduction claimed under section 24(b) won’t be reversed.
These are discussed in detail in out article How to Calculate Capital gain on Sale of House?
Dear Sir,
I bought a land in the year 2004/April for around Rs.135000/-. I sold it in 2013/Sept for Rs.2640000/-. I started constructing the house from Nov/Dec, 2013 purely from this proceeds. Construction completed in 2014/Sept. I have not filed my IT return for the year 2013-2014 yet. Pl. let me what is my tax amount and when shd I have to file my return.
Dear Mr Kumar, if the purchase value and sales value given by you is correct ie( Rs 1,35,000 and Rs 26,40,000 respectively), then your Capital gain is Rs 23,75,906. In the financial year of 2013-14, you should have transferred the entire capital gain amount to another bank account called Capital Gains Account Scheme. The tax rate in your case is @ 20% on the capital gains. Please contact for immediate action.
On Mr Kumar: If the whole Sell proceed[26.4L]is kept in a bank under Capital Gains Account Scheme and Mr Kumar utilizes the whole proceed to construct a new house, then will he get max. 2Yrs[Sep2015] of time to complete the construction[date of House completion certificate from Corporation] from the date Sell[Sep2013]?
informative website. I have a question- In case of property deal, does one have to re-invest whole sells proceeds or only capital gains to get tax benefits? Eg. property bought in 2009 at 35 lakhs (purchased index cost -57 lakhs)and sold for 83 lakhs in 2015. Here, capital gains (difference in sell cost and purchased index cost) is 27 lakhs. To get complete exemption, shall him reinvest only 27 lakhs or 83 lakhs?
Hello Puru,
Tax is only on capital gain not on the Selling Price of the house. As the capital gain is 27 lakhs with indexation you will need to pay 10% of 27 lakh 2.7 lakh. You can pay LTCG of 2.7 lakh or to save it So you invest 27 lakh in buying another house or in Capital Gains Account Scheme
Quoting from our article On Selling a house You can claim tax exemption under Section 54 on the long-term capital gain on the sale of a house. To avail of this exemption, you must
Use the entire profit to either buy another house within two years or
Construct one in three years.
If you had already bought a second house within a year before selling the first one, you could still avail of the tax exemption,
It’s possible that you are not able to make the required investment to avail of the exemption on capital gains before the due date for filing your tax return. In such a situation, the amount of capital gain or net consideration , as the case may be, has to be deposited in a separate account in a nationalised bank under the Capital Gains Account Scheme (CGAS)
In our ISST office our office Office -in-charge (Dr. Rajib Nandi) received one consultancy project (personnel level) from UNESCAP (bangkok) amount of Rs. 15 lakhs and he want to give this project to ISST, so that any tax implication in his tax return. And also confirm he pay the any tax amount to income tax.
If he gets any money from the project then it can be counted as his income.(Salary or business depends on the terms and conditions of project it’s value w.r.t to his salary).
If he is not making any money from project then he will not have to pay income tax.

I have shares of my employer company (ESOP) traded in London Stock exchange. These were purchased in Oct 2003. If I sell it now and get the money paid into my account in India what are my tax liabilities? I would appreciate your guidance.
Hello Krishnan
Taxation of ESOPs of company listed abroad:
This depends on whether you are a resident or non-resident Indian. If you are a non-resident, it will not be taxable, as the gains occur outside India, unless the money is received in India.
If you are a resident in India, then you will be taxed on the gains.
Long-term capital gain : either you can pay 10% income tax on gains without indexation benefit Or you can pay 20% income tax on gains with indexation benefit.
Short-term capital gain is added to your overall income and taxed according to your slab rate.
You can check our article What are Employee Stock Options for more details
And JagoInvestor’s RSU, ESPP and ESOP – Understanding Meaning and Taxation for more details.
Please do let us know if you find some other information.
Hi,
There is a lot of confusion about taxation on shares listed in stock exchanges outside India. One section of auditors link the Rules of Capital Gain tax on shares listed in Indian stock exchanges with Double Tax treaty and say that only 20%+surcharge is applicable for the shares traded in stock exchanges outside India. Another school of auditors say that the gain is treated as Other income and taxed at the person’s income tax clip level. I have not come across any income tax section that clearly states about tax implications on shares traded in outside stock exchanges. Lot of ambiguity

Can I opt for not using indexed cost and pay capital gain tax for 95 lakhs (1 crore minus 5 lakhs). If so what is the rate of Tax? If I use indexed cost and pay capital gain tax for Rs 75 lakhs what is the rate of tax?

Very helpful article. Detailed explanation is praiseworthy.
If one has salary income, Stock market derivative income and capital gains from debt and equity mutual funds, how the tax would be calculated and what ITR form will need to be filled up.
Stock market derivative income, I believe is business income and if this income is more than Capital gains income from stock and debt MFs, then will the entire income be treated as business income or the calculations have to be different for above.
Many thanks for your answer.

My income comes to 4.5lacs and shares with short term gains of 20,000.Though my income comes below 5 lacs should i calculate 15 % tax on short term gain and 10% tax on remaining amount
or i should pay 10% tax for 4.7 lacs.please clarify.
Durga answer is based on the assumption that You have short term capital gain of Rs 20,000 from shares for which you have paid STT.
Short term capital gain on shares comes into play if you hold it for less than an year, These have to taxed at the rate of 15%.

Hi,
Good effort. Thanks
Last 2 Lines “Long Term Capital Gain without indexation:4027.2” should have been “Long Term Capital Gain Tax without indexation:4027.2” word Tax needs to be added. For the the last lane since the difference is negative, 20% of of -1359. would not be tax as there is nothing to tax if CG is negative……..
Thanks for pointing out. Shall update the code soon.
