Hi,
ReplyDeleteThis is great a info indeed. Although one question; What if the property purchased before 1980 (say ancient property purchased in 1965 at 1000 Rs) how CII will be calculated or benefited at the inflated property selling price in 2012? (say 2012 current cost is 20 lakhs)
Dear suresh
ReplyDeleteTo calculate Indexed value for asset acquired before 01.04.1981 . Take asset fair value(market value) on 01.04.1981 and take original cost or fair value on 01.04.81 which ever is higher to compute the indexed value.
suppose in you given situation fair value as on 01.04.1981 is 5000 then cost (1000) or Fv=5000 which ever is higher to be taken so take 5000/-and indexed it accordingly
if i purchased a plot in feb 1999 and sold in jul2011. how indexation will apply. moreover wat about registration charges etc.
ReplyDeletecOST OF PLOT X 785/351
Deletefurther registration charges are part of cost .
sir the registration charges will be included in the cost of acquisition. Cost of acquisition as on 1999 * 351/711
Deletenot only Registration charges but also the brokerage paid to the agents at the time of purchase will form part of the cost of acquisition.
ReplyDeleteyes
DeleteWill the brokerage paid to the agent at the time of sale also be deducted from the sale proceeds for Indexation calcuation?
ReplyDeleteyes , brokerage charges can be reduced from sale price .Further indexation is available only when brokerage is paid for purchase of capital asset
Deletei purchased 100 shares of reialiance in 1991 with rate of 500,now if sell now with rate of 1100,what would be tax liabilty,illustrate
ReplyDeleteLong term capital gain(holding period more than one year) on shares is fully exempted .So in your case no tax liability at all so no example required.

Dear all,
ReplyDeleteCould any body tell me that-
-How can i get to know the value of inheritage property in 1981
-give me an example that how can i calculate the taxable long term capital gain on inheritage property if i sale it by this month only.
- my property is more then 70 year old in delhi.
There is certified profession valuer in the market Just search them or get the value from identical /nearby property from registrar office. I think first option is better.
DeleteFurther you can add indexed cost incurred after 1981 in price discovered above.

1989 Land purchased thru BDA Auction BANGALORE in wife's name
ReplyDelete1991 Construction completed and occupied
2006 Renovation done with Bank Loan (wife's account)
2012 August expecting to Sell House
We r both Sr Citizens now
Pl let know
1. how to calculate
2. Can Sale proceeds be divided 50:50 between me & wife
3. How is capital gains calculated
4. If we Need to take Capital Gains Bonds fron NABARD/REC etc should we split and give individually?
Pl help
1.please fill tentative amounts against each time amount against each item
Delete2. Sale proceed can be used as your wife wish.but capital gain remains in your wife's account.
3. As per answer 1
4. as the land is in your name , capital gain bond must have been purchased in your wife's name
Tentative,Figures for calculation
Delete1.65 lacs = 1989 Land purchased thru BDA Auction BANGALORE in wife's name
5.00 lacs =1991 Construction completed cost...
12.00 lacs= 2006 Renovation done with Bank Loan (wife's account)
115 lacs = 2012 Sale value expecting
Sale Value:115.00 L
DeleteLess:expenses from sale(like brokerage etc)=0.00
1.Net sale proceed
2. Indexed cost of acquisition
Land =1.65 X 860(expected index for 12-13) /172(index 1989-90)
=1.65 X 860 /172=8.25
const =5.00 X 860(expected index 12-13) /199(index 1991-92)
=5.00 x 860 / 199=21.39
renovation cost
=12.00 X 860(expected index 12-13) /519(index 2006-07)
=12.00 X 860/519=19.88
Total cost of acquisition= 8.25+21.39+19.88=49.52
Capital gain :Net sale minus indexed acquisition cost
=115-49.52=65.48
To save capital gain of 65.48 lakh in new house under section 54 or you can invest the same amount(65.48) in Capital gain bonds.
Further your wife can use claim 54 and 54EC simultaneously in any ratio.
more over balance amount of 49.52 can be used as your wife wishs..
Thanks.
DeleteI have some more queries :
Can I deduct any Yearly Maintenance cost?
Which r the expenses that r allowed under MAINTENANCE?
Is Brokerage paid while selling part of allowed deduction
Is interest incurred on Bank loan taken for Renovation deductible
point wise answer is given below
DeleteCan I deduct any Yearly Maintenance cost?
Yearly maintenance cost is nor deductible.
Which r the expenses that r allowed under MAINTENANCE?
as per above answer
Is Brokerage paid while selling part of allowed deduction
Yes brokerage and other selling expenses can be reduced from sale proceed.
Is interest incurred on Bank loan taken for Renovation deductible
interest paid for the period falling after the date of acquisition, in my view it cannot be considered as 'cost of acquisition' of a capital asset hence can not be allowed.
Thanks again
DeletePlz clarify on Indexed cost for equity funds more than 1 year which qualifies LTCG?
ReplyDeleteIndexed cost of equity funds is not required as these are already covered under ltcg exemption . IF holding period is more than one year no tax applicable.
DeleteI am planning to sell a property i purchased in 2006.

In my view society formation charges are not part of the cost.
DeleteIn case of brokerage in cash ,if you can prove that then you can add that amount

In FMPs, long-term Capital Gains are taxed@10.30% without indexation, while short-term (period less than 1 year) are taxed as per income slab.
DeleteIf you avail indexation then rate will be 20%
Deletesir+ will the capital gains tax be 20% for other assets (plot of land purchased in 1985) even if indexation benefit is not sought??
ReplyDeleteTax rate @ 10% in LTCG without indexation is available in case of securities only not for other assets
Deletehi i have two houses, these two are sold in dec,2011 and puchase two houses at feb,2012. on the sale first house get a profit of Rs.3500000, and second house loss of Rs.700000/ please tell me what is the tax treatment. (new houses cost is 3000000 and 1500000
ReplyDeleteYou have not provided holding period for both the houses . I assume that both the houses are held for more than 3 year (long term capital gain applicable)
DeleteCapital gain from first house=35 Lakh
less :capital gain from second house =-7lakh
net capital gain =28 lakh.
less deduction u/s 54 for purchase of new house against sale of first (profitable house)=30lakh subject to maximum profit available i.e 28L
Net taxable capital gain =Nil

ReplyDeleteI booked a flat with a builder in 2006 and paid 1650000 to him till 2011 ( 950000 HDFC loan and 700000 self) . The builder could not hand over the possession and i sold the flat before taking possession in 2011 – april at the same price 1650000. I paid 350000 rs. interest to HDFC during this period. Can i claim long term capital loss of 350000 now. Please advice.
ReplyDeleteyou can claim indexation at least. But long term capital loss can be adjusted against long term capital gain only .So no real benefit till you have LTCg from any other asset .

So could you please clarify me the total income tax / capital gain that my uncle be liable to pay in detail. The property is in Andhra Pradesh. I would really appreciate your response. Please explain
ReplyDeleteKumar
You can give this transaction as a family settlement and there is no tax on family settlement . So think about this and take hep of tax consultant as amount involved is huge.
DeleteAny how ,if this transaction remains covered in Capital gain then to calculate capital gain ,cost as on 01.04.1981 of this property required .
then d this
Sale Price =XXXXXXX
Less :Market value on 1.4.1981 X Index 2012-13(880 Estimated ) divided by 100= YYYYYY
Capital Gain =XXXXXX-YYYYYY
Further your uncle can save capital gain by investing in new property /capital gain bonds

What is expected sale consideration of old house
DeleteDear Sir,
ReplyDeletePlease help me the following case.
Sold a flat (flat1) purchased in wife's name. Flat was fully funded by me. Capital gain comes around 30 lakhs. Want to invest in a new flat (flat2) to save long term capital gain. New flat (flat2) is going to cost around 65 Lakhs. Wife is housewife and has no income. I was earlier clubbing the rental income (from Flat1) in my income and paying taxes accordingly.
Question is: 1) the new flat (Flat2) should be purchased in wife's name or it can be in joint name or it has to be in my name.
2) Also in IT return in whose return form this capital gain should reflect. It should come in my ITR or in wife's ITR. (Wife has no income and not filing returns but has PAN card).
Interested to purchase the new flat (Flat2) in joint name.
Dear sir,
ReplyDeleteI bought a flat under construction that was registered in May 2008, but handed over to me in Feb 2010. What should be considered as the property purchase date while calculating the capital gains?
Many Thanks
on safer side you should consider on FEb 2010
DeleteHi, I brought a flat in FY 2005-06 for 1430000/- and sold in FY 2012-13... what would be the capital gain?
ReplyDeleteDo I need to use this entire amount to buy new house so that I don't have tax liability ?
What if I have used some amount out of it i.e. 1500000/- to clear home loan which was running on the house which i sold ? So do I need to buy next house for: capital gains amount - Rs. 1500000
When I buy a new house, purchase date is considered as date of allotment or date of possession since it is under construction....
To calculate capital gain sale value is required ,which you have not provided.we are assuming it as 3500000 .so capital gain is as under
Deletesale value =3500000
minus Indexed cost of house =1430000*852/497=2451429
capital gain=3500000-2451429=1048571
From above figures ,to save capital gain you have to invest only capital gain amount i.e 1048571
balance amount can be used as you wish(2451429)including repayment of loan.
construction of house must be completed with in three years from transfer of old house.
Sorry I forgot to mention Sale amount as Rs. 7000000. If I use formula as mention above then 7000000-2451429 = 4548571.
DeleteDo I need to use this 4548571 for buying new house and escape tax liability or can I use this amount to also close my ongoing home loan on same flat which I sold and rest to buy new house ...
Amount to amount co relation is not required ,Minimum requirement is to invest amount equal to capital gain in new house .In this case amount is 4548571/-.
DeleteHello, I think I am not clear about my request and sorry to bother you again.
DeleteLet me re-phrase my question:
Brought flat in FY 2005-2006: 1430000/-
Taken loan to pay to first party: Rs. 1300000/- + 400000/- for renovation, hence total loan: 1700000/-
Sold same flat in FY 2012-2013 : 7000000/-
Since I need to close home loan before I sell, I used token money which was paid by buyer of my house i.e Rs. 1500000/-
After paying Rs. 15 Lakh I got documents and hence gave those documents to buyer on payment of rest of the amount 70Lakhs-15Lakhs= 55 Lakhs
Since I have used Rs. 15 Lakhs from my capital gain hence Shall I use rest of the money i.e. Rs. 4548571 - 1500000 = 3048571 for buying new house and not liable to pay tax.
regards
No ,answer remain the same i.e you have to invest 4548571/- .
DeleteHowever as you have told that you have renovate the house and take house loan for that 4 lakh and i thing you may have used your own money on renovation also.so both this amounts are also to be considered to calculate capital gain tax.
Further if you have paid any registration charges or transfer charges i.e also to be included in cost of acquisition .
I assume that you have used 5 lakh for renovation (4 lakh received from bank and one lakh own) so revised calculation is given as under
1430000+400000+100000=1900000
Indexed cost =1900000*852/497=3257143
salevalue=7000000
less cost=3257143
capital gain=3742857
Hello Sir, thank you for your support so far.
DeleteJust last question.... I heard from one of the CA that capital gains amount can be invested to buy new flat before you file return and an individual can file return with delay of 1year but with some panelty so in case above if someone has sold house on 01st April 2012 then one can actually wait untill 31st July 2014. This will give more time i.e. 2yrs to utilise money instead of parking it in capital gains account.
Please confirm if money has to be used by 31st July 2013 or can go untill 31st July 2014?
thank you
Income tax return section is 139
DeleteNormal return is covered in section 139(1) and late return is covered under section 139(4).
As per section 54 return section referred as 139 means both in time return and late return is covered and your CA is correct.(belated return can be filed up to 31.03.2015
However as per CGAS section is 139(1) means in time return
"(4) Such deposits may be made in one lump sum or in instalments at any time on or before the due date of furnishing the return of income under sub-section (1) of section 139 of the Act as is applicable in the case of the depositor."
so there is diff in Section and Capital gain account scheme notification and ITO can create dispute ,so be careful and take risk after taking all points in consideration
Thank you for your comments. Please confirm if belated return for FY 2012-2013 can be filled till 31.07.2014 or 31.03.2015? as per above stated section 139
DeleteIts irony that there is diff in two notifications from government.
Dear Raju Baba,
ReplyDeleteOur property was purchased in 1949 for Rs. 30,000/- by grandparents. What is the indexation rate, and what would be the amount of the capital gains tax, if sold at Rs. 8 crores? After paying the tax, can the money be repatriated to the US without any hassle? How efficient is the process of taxation once property is sold? Is the tax paid upfront or filed at the end of the year?
Dear sir: I have acquired a flat through a cooperative society that was constructed and related capex incurred over a period of 8 years during 1981-82 to 1989-90 and it was sold in 2012-13. For assessment of capital gains and tax thereon, is indexation of capital cost of this flat to be done for all the years of construction for the respective capex incurred by the respective years' index factors or for the cumulative capex since inception upto the year of completion of construction by the index factor of that year alone ? Thanks in advance for your clarification:
ReplyDeleteyou should apply CII notified for different years to the amount spent on construction every year.
