21 November 2012 DEAR SIR
i am here with a query related to LTCG , my father purchased a land in 1988 for 48,000 inr, then constructed a house on that land in 1992 INCURRING COST OF AROUND 4-5 LACS (constructed area around 1800 square feet) then again did some construction on 1st floor in 1998 of around 400 square feet.
then he sold the house in 2011 for 17 lacs...according TO indexed value that i have calculated the indexed cost of (purchase of land + construction) is equal to sale amount i:e 17 lacs in 2011...hence he has not to pay any income tax..pls throw some light on it...also does he required to mention the LTCG in his return even if there is no taxable ammount in LTCG.

KIND REGARDS
IMRAN

2. You should show the transaction in your return even if there is no capital gain. otherwise it will be treated as undisclosed income.
