I had purchase one residential property in Dec 2009 of Rs 20 Lakhs & sale the same property in Jan 2013 of Rs 80 Lakhs. I already purchase one other residential property in Aug 2012 of Rs 50 Lakhs. My question is can I claim set off against my capital gain ? What is my tax liability ?

You may include the Stamp Duty and Registration charges paid in connection with the properties purchased as the same are also deductible. . Taking the data given by you as it is Your Tax liability can be computed as- Sales Consideration .......80,00,000 Less: Indexed Cost of Acquisition 2000000x852/632=26,96,203 Long term Capital Gains = 5303798 Less: Exemption U/s 54 = 5000000 Net TAxable LTCG= 303798 Tax @ 20% =60760+3% of 60760 =62582 ( Add Cess 2+1=3% of Tax amount)
