12 August 2013 In my understanding, opinion on your Query is:


In your case the Assessee sold the property in less than three years time, hence it is short-term Capital Gain. The Gain is taxable at the prevailing tax slab applicable to the assessee depending on his/her other incomes.

Note:
Long-term Capital gains are eligible for exemption on re-investments by virtue of Sections 54, 54EC and 54F. Long-term Capital gains would be only if you hold the property for more than three years, and the gains are taxed @20% only.

Hope your query is resolved.

With thanks and regards,
