18 April 2012 Since this is urban agricultural land (being situated in local limits) of Municipal Corporation Long Term Capital Gain will be attracted.
However you can claim following deductions from Sale Value-
1) Deduction as Indexed Cost of Acquisition.{Market Value on 1.4.81 x (Cost Inflation Index of Year in which asset sold/Cost Inflation Index of 1981-82 i.e.100)
2) Expenses on Transfer

Further, You can claim full amount invested in new agricultural land as deduction u/s 54B.Max deduction available restricted to amt of LTCG.
