Since it is sold under 3 years, indexation shall not be available. Short term capital gain shall be 35,000/-

Sale Consideration 1750000
Less: Cost of Acquisition 120000
Less: Cost of Improvement                  10000                                  

 

Short Term Capital Gain

 

45000

 

Please note that if the property has been held for less than 36 months from the date of acquisition, the resulting gains shall be termed as short-term capital gains (STCG).

Further, since there is no avenue whereby an exemption from STCG can be availed, the entire STCG shall be taxable as per the applicable tax slab rate.

My mistake in typing. It is 45,000/- not 35,000/-

@ Mr. Mihir...

I knew that, you just miss typed it....

I've seen most of your replies and learned a lot from it...

Thank you Mr. Aryan for your compliment. 

I think a teacher never stops learning. 

I have learnt a lot from this platform, and I am grateful that this platform has maintained its sincerity. Books can teach only little, whereas helping people in need gives us not only the understanding of the subject but we also learn to deal with different people having different problems. 

I do like the way you post daily messages of wisdom. Thanks a lot for that.
