I have query regarding capital gain tax for sale of house property. Facts of the case are as under.
Flat was inherited by me during the year 2001. Flat was acquired by my father during the year 1987. Cost of the same was 2.5 lakh.
Society went for redevelopment of the Building during the year 2010. Redevelopment was completed during the year 2016 and possession of new flat was handed over on 31st May 2016. Agreement for allotment of redeveloped flat considered Market Value as 10 lakh and stamp duty has been paid by me.
Now I have sold the flat during April 2018 for 65 lakh.
Your advise is sought as under: How the capital gain tax liability is calculated? How much amount I need to invest in capital gain tax bond or new house to save tax liability?

Paid on stamp duty. Market value considered in agreement was 10 lakh. No amount was paid to developer. Tri-party agreement was made for redevelopment between developer, society and flat owner. This was made during the year 2010 at the beginning of redevelopment.

Thanks Paras ji, Have one query. How to ascertain fair value as on 1/4/2001. This case pertains to Mumbai. Is it ready reckoner rate? or rate published by builder's association can be taken?

The circle rate can be known from the Registrar's office or from the Advocates engaed in property registration work. However, the most authentic way is to get the Valuation Report from an Approved Valuer.
