Capital gains can be computed by taking the property valuation as on 1.4.1981 as cost of acquisition. . Indexed cost has to be arrived on the basis of above cost. . By deducting Index Cost from 1125000+( TDS if not included in 1125000/-) , you may arrive the Capital Gains. . Capital Gain is taxable @ 20%. . Against the amount of tax payable you may adjust the TDS. . However, if a new residential house is purchased or investment in infrastructure bond is made, you may reduce your capital gains tax liability. .
