28 February 2012 Exemption under Section 54 is available only if the house property was a long term asset.

Accordingly, entire gain arising on transfer of the house property shall be taxable.

29 February 2012 Sir,
pls let me know the income and tax (in details). Let me know that is Income from Business or Income from House Property ?
If suppose assessee purchased new property in f.y.2012-13 in mar'12 of Rs. 20,00,000/- then he could adjust the STCG against new property purchase cost.or How could he adjust the Gain (STCG) ?
Let me know in details Pls
Awaiting for ur reply

29 February 2012 The income is taxable under the head Capital Gain as short term capital gain.

Computation:

Sale Consideration Rs. 24,00,000
Less: Expenses on transfer Rs. 25,550
Net Sale Consideration Rs. 23,74,450
Less: Cost of acquisition Rs. 12,25,000
STCG Rs. 11,49.450

This STCG shall be added to your other income and normal tax rates shall apply to the total income.

As I said earlier, purchase of a new house is not eligible in this case, since the asset sold is a short term asset (held for less than 36 months).

There is no way to reduce this gain.
