18 August 2013 Hints :
Compute the indexed cost of acquisition on the basis of 1.4.1981 price.
.
U/s 54F -he is required to invest Rs 10.00 lac in residential house to get full exemption.
.
Deposited Rs 5.00 lac in Capital Gains A/c and invested Rs 2.00 in the new property - clearly meant that for AY 2013-14 also he will be liable for capital gains tax. Only 70% of Capital Gains will exempt and on balance 30% he has to pay tax @ 20%.
.
After the stipulated time- if 1.00 lac remained unutilised - then applying the formula given under section 54F - you have to pay tax on 10% of the original capital gain.
