30 November 2011 Income tax is not levied on Square feet
basis. It depends upon the fact that how much you have spent and what you have got.
.
The Costof purchase as well as subsequent cost of improvement has to be indexed to find out the inflation based indexed cost of the flat.
.
This enhanced value is subtracted from the sales consideration. This excess is Capital Gain.

You can purchase another residential house by investing the capital gains amount or more. You will not require to pay Capital gains Tax.

30 November 2011 The capital gain will be calculated by reducing the indexed cost of acquisition from the sale price.

Sale Price

57,000*CII of FY 12-13/CII of FY 87-88

Cost of construction of 1st floor*CII of FY 12-12/CII of year of construction.
