Your capital gains will be calculated as under:

Sale Price : 50,00,000

Less Brokerage if any:

Net Sale Price 50,00,000

Less Cost ( Proporationate)

2,00,000/-

Indexed Cost: (Assuming purchase in 2003-04 FY)

1081/463*200000 = 466954/-

capital Gains : 4533046/-

This will be taxed at 20 % plus cess 3%

Sir,

Thanks for the reply, so the capital gains comes to Rs.45,33,046/- for that i have to pay 20% tax Plus 3% cess. Whether to avoid the tax can i invest it in some bonds, Post Office savings or other ways can i invest to avoid the tax. Kindly give your suggestion.

Thanks
