Quick Summary

When selling a residential flat, you can include stamp duty and registration fees in the original purchase price for indexation purposes. This helps reduce your capital gains tax liability. The capital gains amount can then be deposited into a bank account under the 'Capital Gains Accounts Scheme, 1988' to avail tax benefits.

15 March 2023 My mother has sold one society flat in December 2022 for ₹35 lacs.
Purchased in June 2016, Purchase Price was ₹20 lacs , stamp duty ₹140000 , registration fees ₹10000.
can we add stamp duty and registration fees in purchase price for indexation ?
we want to deposit this amount in capital gain scheme account.
Long tern capital capital is coming as ₹791818 (35L - 21.60L/264*331) , this amount we will deposit in bank account.
