13 September 2017 Base year is 2001-2002 and the year of transfer is 2016-17. CII is 100 and 264 respectively.

Indexed cost of acquisition is Rs.1601590 *(264/100) is Rs. 42.28

If your client is selling at Rs.28 lacs, then capital loss will be 28lacs less 42.28 lacs= Rs.14.28 lacs

13 September 2017 If it is not possible to set off against any long term capital gains in the year 2017-18, then your client can carry forward such losses upto 8 assessment years.

13 September 2017 Capital gains exemption can be claimed by investing or constructing a property. This case is that of long term capital loss and therefore no question of exemption arises.

14 September 2017 There is a capital gain =1601590*264/200 = 2114099
So LTCG = 28L-21.14099 = 6.85901, The inddex for 2012-13 is 200

14 September 2017 By buying property within 2 years of transfer or to construct a residential property within 3 years of transfer, you can claim exemption of long term capital gains .

One requirement is that you should invest the amount of capital gains in such purchase or construction
