15 May 2010 If first house in your name , then you have to pay tax on LTCG
Sales consdieration 15 Lacs
Less :
Cost of acquistion
600000/497*632=762978
Cost of Improvement
250000/551*632=286751
LTCG = 450271

You have to pay tax on LTCG, because for claiming exemption you should have to purchase house in your name.
