If guideline value for sold property is Rs 20,00,000/- capital gains on it will be calculated by taking Rs. 20 lac as sale consideration even if actual sale consideration was less than the guideline value. If new property is also sold before 3 years than not only on the sale of new property there will be short term capital gains but also the earlier exempted capital gains will also be taxable again.
