21 July 2012 Being a smart tax payer, you can get indexation benefit also on the shares sold by you.
.
The long term capital gain arising to you is eligible for exemption under Section 54EC of Rs.15.00lac.
.

However, for getting full exemption of the LTCG, the calculation of exemption U/s 54F is based on the net sales consideration i.e. 50.00lac. In the given circumstances you will get exemption of 30*45/50=27lacs.
.
So if you invest Rs. 18.00 lacs in place of Rs. 15.00 lacs you may enjoy the full exemption benefits.
