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

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.
