28 December 2009 income from sale of land 400000
index cost
41000 *582/281 (assuming tht u
purchased after 1-4-1995) (94918)
---------
305082

tax impact =305082*20%=6101= 6100

to get benefit of section 54 u have to invest 305082 to buy or construct new residential property within specified time. which is one year before and two year after of sale if u going to buy the property.
and for construction u can invest within 3 years from the date of sale.

29 December 2009 "Hiiii

Computation will be as follow:"
Net Sale Consideration = 40,00,000
(-)Indexed COA (41,000*582/281)= (84,918)
LTCG = 39,15,082

"Therefore, Whole LTCG amount of Rs. 39,15,082 will be taxable but if you go for Sec 54F deduction then
deduction could be accoring to that section 54F."

According to that deduction will be according to following formula:

= LTCG*AMOUNT INVESTED/NET SALE CONSIDERATION
= 39,51,082*39,51,082/40,00,000
= 38,31,966

Therefore, Taxable LTCG will be
= 39,51,082 - 38,31,966
= Rs.83,115

Tax on LTCG = 83,115 * 20%
= 16,623

NOTE:
1) Deduction of section 54F is available only if you do not hold more than one residential house in the same year.
2) According to 54F, deduction is available only if Investment made in any residential house withing 1 year before or within 2 year in case of purchase OR withing 3 year in case of construction.
3) You have to hold for atleast 3 year that new purchased Residential House Property.
4)If you sold before completed 3 years then whole deduction amount(earlier claimed) will be taxable as LTCG in the year of sale of New Residential House.
5)Untill you investment in Purchase/Construction of New Residential House Property you have to maintain your LTCG amount in CAPITAL GAIN ACCOUNT SCHEME(CGAS).
