Accounting entry may be passed by debiting bank account (14 Lac) and crediting asset account (2.25 lac) / profit on sale of assets (11.75 lac). Profit may be shown as credit to P&L A/c or in the case of individual directly added to capital account.
Further accounting entry relating investments and loan/gift to daughter in law also may be made appropriately,by crediting bank account.
In view of indexed cost of aqui. arriving at Rs.7.81 lac in 2009-10, capital gain amt is Rs.6.19 lac, which is sufficiently covered by investment in cap gain bonds. so no tax liability arises.
