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.
