Long term capital gain will arise on the transfer of such flat.
You have mentioned the date of sale as December, 2012. Is it actually 2012 or 2011?
Capital gain will be calculated as under:
Sale Price
Less: Indexed Cost of acquisition
Capital Gain
Indexed cost of acquisition:
Cost of acquistion*CII of year of sale/CII of year of purchase.
CII = Cost Inflation Index
Further, you can claim exemption under Section 54 of the Income Tax Act, by doing the following:
Purchase a residential house within a period of one year before or two years after the date on which the transfer took place,
or constructed a residential house within a period of three years after that date.
If you are unable to invest the money before the due date of filing the return, then deposit the same in a Capital Gain Scheme Account with a nationalised bank.
