In order to compute the capital gains on the sale of a house, the following conditions should be taken into consideration:
Short Term Capital Gains - If you have sold your house within a three year period from the time you purchased it, then the profits from the sale are considered to be a short-term capital gain. These gains become a part of your total income and will be taxed as per the existing slab tax rates.
Long Term Capital Gains - If your have sold your house after a three year period from the time of purchase, then any profits from the sale is considered to be a long-term capital gain. Following indexation, this gain will incur a tax of 20%. However, tax exemptions can be claimed in this case unlike in the case of short term capital gains.
If you have brought a property for Rs.35 lakh andsold it after a certain period for Rs.105 lakh, yourprofit is Rs.70 lakh. But that profit is not the capital gain. You have to consider the cost inflation indexation and that considerably reduces your capital gain liability.
