Long Term Capital Gain Tax on Sale of land by Senior Citizen


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
A senior citizen sold land purchased in 2009 for ₹14 lakhs, having bought it for ₹2 lakhs. As this is not agricultural land in a rural area, Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG) tax is payable, even without other income sources and if no prior tax returns were filed. Gifts of sale proceeds to sons are not taxable for them, so they won't pay LTCG on receiving the money.
