Dear Sir, I wish to clarify a doubt regarding Long Term Capital Gain. i.e. If a person have only LTCG only in a particular yea.Whether he is eligible to avails the basic exemption limit? Ex: If the LTCG arises Rs.152400 in F Y 12-13.Whether he can avail the basic exemption limit or he has to pay the tax @20%
Provided that where the total income as reduced by such long-term capital gains is below the maximum amount which is not chargeable to income-tax, then,
such long-term capital gains shall be reduced by the amount by which the total income as so reduced falls short of the maximum amount which is not chargeable to income-tax and the tax on the balance of such long-term capital gains shall be computed at the rate of twenty percent...
