If flat is sold witin 3 yrs form the date of acquisition then STCG is applicable. IF if it is sild after 3yrs LTCG applicable.
Tax implication For STCG there is no option. LTCG can be saved by buying new property within 2yrs form the date of transfer.(Sec 54) Amt invested or LTCG whichever is less is available as deduction.
