This discussion clarifies the calculation of long-term capital gains tax (LTCG) on a property gifted from father to son and subsequently sold. The cost of acquisition is considered from the father's purchase date, with indexation benefits applicable. LTCG is taxed at a flat 20%, separate from regular income tax slabs, although certain deductions and expenses can be claimed during ITR filing.
A open flat has been transferred under gift registration from father to son in the year Dec,2018.. the flat actually bought in the year 2004 price around Rs.4,50,000.00.. Now the flat being sold in the year Feb,2021 month with Rs.30,00,000.00..
Kindly guide me the way to calculate long term capital gain tax and pls confirm can the lcg tax be included in the regular income tax slab..

It is a long term capital gain. Cost to father shall be taken as Cost of acquisition and CII is available by virtue of case laws. Manjula J Shaw.
