03 April 2011 Hi,

You can calculate your LTCG as follows

Sale Consideration 8,00,000
(-) Expenses on Transfer -
Net Sale Consideration 8,00,000

Indexed Cost of Acquisition

7500*711/100 53,325

LTCG 746675

Note:

If you use this amount of LTCG & Purchase a new residential HP with in 2 years or Construct a NEW HP with in 3 years, you can claim the benifit of Rs.746675 under Sec 54 to the extent of the Money used for the Purchase or Construction of the NEW HP

Eg 1. if the New HP is Purchased / Constucted at say Rs.600000, then the Remaining amount of Rs.146675 would be taxable
OR

Eg 2. Say it is Rs. 1000000/- they the exemption would be restricted to Rs.746675 i.e.to the extent oif Capital Gains made.

Note: you could also Claim Deduction under Sec 54 EC by investing in REC / NHAI Bonds if there is any short comings like explained in Eg 1 above to claim full deduction of Capital Gains

Amount can be withdrawn periodically for the purpose of availing exemption U/s 54.
