Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies how to calculate Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG) on property sales, considering indexed costs and improvements. It advises reinvesting the entire sale proceeds into a new property or house to potentially avoid tax. It also addresses reinvestment in capital gains bonds, confirming only the interest is taxed and the 5-year lock-in period applies.

15 September 2023 Respected sirs,
Thank you for sparing your precious time.Sir, I bought a plot in 2005 whose indexed value now is 85 Rs. The cost of improvements over time( indexed is )15 Rs. Now I have sold for 150 Rs. Thus I have a clear gain of LTCG 50 Rs. Now I have to buy a plot for 50 RS or for the entire 150 RS. Kindly guide me sir. Thanking you once again.
