This discussion clarifies which Income Tax Return (ITR) form to use when selling a plot of land, specifically ITR 3. It explains how to calculate capital gains, using the circle rate as of April 1st, 2001, as the purchase value for assets inherited from ancestors.

My father is senior citizen having consultancy income, Interest income, Pension Income and in FY 20-21 sold a piece of Land 50 Sq. Ft. and construction remaining area from 250 sq ft in the same FY. Sold value is Rs. 28,00,000/- and that was purchased our great grand father.
So, My question is which ITR form to be filed for same FY 20-21 return and how will show this plot selling value and construction. Please advice at the earliest.

Means indexation for capital gain will be calculated on circle rate as on 01.04.2001. Because we have no purchase value as this piece of land purchased by our great grand father. And constructed remaining area with the money received from sale. Please clarify again sir how should I show in ITR-3 schedule

Give more details about construction. Whether the same is sold along with the plot, as residential unit? If yes, when was the house constructed?

Considering residential house with land area 50 Gaj, sold for 28 lakhs in FY 2020-21. Get the Governmental value of the property sold as on 01.04.2001, from sub-registrar or any Governmental approved valuer. Assuming it to be say 5 lakhs. Index it to FY 202021... Rs. 15.05 lakhs. So, LTCG will be around 13 lakhs (reduce it to any expenditure attached to sale proceeds) This amount can be claimed as exemption u/s. 54 in ITR, by your father for house property constructed on the remaining plot. (provided balance amount deposited in CGAS, 1988 acc. before filing return)
