Long term capital gain bonds

This query is : Resolved 

05 May 2013 Can i buy 6% LTCG bonds issued by NHAI to avoid capital gain tax payable on sale of unlisted shares??
Is there any other investment apart from house property for such purpose??

05 May 2013 Dr. Y I Patel,

If sold unlisted shares were a long term capital assets (holding period more than 12 months)in your hands, you can buy 6% LTCG bonds issued by NHAI to get exemption (u/s 54EC) from tax on capital gain.

LTCG bonds should be bought within 6 months from the date of trannsfer (sale in your case) of unlisted shares (in your case) to avail benefit u/s 54EC.

Amount of exemption:
Lower of the following:or
1) The amount of capital gains generated on transfer of capital asset
or
2) The amount of investment


Remember - 6% LCCG bonds issued by NHAI should not be transferred (or converted into money or any loan/advance is taken on the security of those bonds)within three years from the date of their acquisition otherwise capital gains which were not charged to tax would be deemed to be the capital gain in the year of transfer and charged to tax accordingly.

Thanks,

Yes, you can get the benefit of indexation.

I mention it earlier that exemption is lower of the following two.

2) The amount invested

Yes, you are right you have to pay tax on remaining Rs.10.
