Hi Expert Professional, My father as senior citizen sold land Rs. 14 lacs this year which was taken since 2009 Rs.2Lacs but no other source income so is it required to pay long term capital gain tax. My another question is this sale consideration given to his two sons and his one son are about to purchase a house also need to pay long term capital gain.

Yes, tax to be paid on LTCG unless such land is an agricultural land in a rural area. Sons are not required to pay LTCG as gift from father to son is not taxable.
