05 March 2012 Dear Sir,

I am having a house which I want to Sell. Whatever the amount I receive on sale of the house, how much Tax will be payable. How much exemption did I get? Can I get a clear picture or computation?

Please let me know so that I can plan while filing Individual return.

Thanks,

S. Venkatesh

@ 20% otherwise taxed @ regular rate of tax.
