The capital gain arising on sale of residential house property is taxable as Capital Gains.
However, you can claim exemption u/s 54 if you satisfy the following conditions:
1. The sold house was a long term asset, i.e., it was held for a period of 36 months or more.
2. You purchase within a period of 1 year before or two years after the date on which the transfer took place, or construct within a period of three years after that date a residential house.
If the amount of capital gains is equal to the amount of investment, then the whole amount shall be exempt.
in my problem what happened that his gross total income including five head of income is rs. 531877 out of that he invest u/s 80c, 80d & 80ccf an amt of rs. 135000 & his now total taxable income is rs.396877 out of that rs. 62913 is a long term capital gain arise from sale of house property. so how mant amt of tax he has to pay for his taxable income of rs.396877 because long term capital gain is taxable @ 20%.
