20 October 2009 1. yes the assesee can show the old asset in his balance sheet from 1998-99 onwards to 2008-09 only not in the year 2009-10 as such property has been sold.

2. The difference between the sale price and indexed cost of acquisition is known as LTCG and also avail exemption u/s 54 of capital gain as the new house also purchased for Rs.950000/=. Thereafter the remaining amount is taxable as LTCG and tax paid on it @ 20%.

3. You have not write whether the such house property has been sold or not.
thats why if sold within a period of 03 years from the date of purchase it is taxable as STCG and its cost of acquisition reduced by the amount of exemption availed u/s 54 earlier.
