Ltcg


This query is : Open 

13 March 2019 I am a resident senior citizen tax payer. I do invest in ELSS MF(Growth option) each financial year to save tax under section 80C of Income tax Act.
I had invested as usual in some ELSS schemes in March 2016 which I intend to redeem now after completion of 3-year lock in period. Since introduction of LTCG tax by the central budget 2018, this the first time I will sell ELSS units.
As such I am in need of some clarifications on calculation of LTCG from experts.
The following example will be helpful for me.
I had purchased 1690.846 units of a particular ELSS on 09.03.2016 at a price of Rs.29.57/unit. The total investment was Rs.50,000/-
NAV of these unit on 31.01.2018 was Rs.44.8938/unit
My sale price on 12.03.2019 is Rs.46.253/unit
Appreciation in value since 31.01.2018=(46.253-44.8938)=Rs.1.3592/unit
Hence total gain= 1.3592*1690.846=Rs.2298
Since, LTCG upto Rs.100000/- is tax free in a financial year, I am not required to pay any tax for this gain.
Am I correct?
Kindly, give me expert opinion.

14 March 2019 Your understanding is correct
