This discussion clarifies the tax implications of selling a residential property for a significant profit. It explains how Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG) are calculated and how reinvesting a portion of the proceeds into a new property and eligible bonds can reduce the taxable amount. The remaining capital, after tax, can be used for personal purposes.

Dear Sirs : One of my cliend purchased residential plot on June 2019 for Rs.28 lakhs and selling now for Rs.1.80 crores. As per new tax regime LTCG is Rs.1,52,00,000. Now he buys new property for Rs.50 lakhs and invest in bonds (lock in period) Rs.50 lakhs. Balance LTCG is now Rs.52 lakhs. My query is that can use the balance Rs.52 lakhs for other personal purposes, gifts etc after paying income tax of 12.5 % on Rs.52 lakhs... Kind regards
