if A is eligible of exemption u/s 54 then capital gain in hands of A is nil , other wise it is 9 lacks considering that A holds the flat of less than 24 months

1) Capital Gain to A = Sale consideration charged to C(Rs.36Lakhs) Less:Indexed cost/normal cost(as per holding period) (indexation available only to cost..if he could not pay Rs.4lakhs no indexation available to that portion as per my opinion...).........From FY 2017-18 onwards(if the above mentioned flat told by you has been purchased after 31/03/2017 then 24months to be taken in place of holding period on behalf of 36 months for period classification)...................2) sec 54 exemption will be available (purchase of another residential house property if the sale is house property (time period - 2years) ...exemption will be available only to capital gain (but not to the full sale consideration)....Tax @ 20%+surcharge(as per assesse slab rate)+EC&SHEC(inclusive of surcharge)......
