Jwellery is not a capital asset as per section 2(14) of the income tax act 1961. Hence it is not liable for capital gains. Moreover gift received via inheritance is liable for any tax under Income tax Act 1961.

Cost of Acquisition will be FMV as on 1-4-2001. (You will have to take valuation certificate) Sale Value: As per Sale Invoice Indexation Year - 1-4-2001 ie FY 2001-2002 Challan category is to be selected as 300 -self assessment tax. But you need will have to pay tax after 31st March 2020. If you want to pay tax before that, you need to select Advance Tax instead of self assessment tax.
1. In your working while calculating the cost of acquisition. You can take the benefit of indexation . 100 for the year of purchase i.e, 2001-02 and 289 for FY 2019-20. 3. Tax rate applicable: 10% on the capital gain without indexation & 20% with indexation benefit. Us ethe method whichever gets you less tax 2. As per your calculation you purchased at 4300 per gram and selling at 3000 per gram. Hence there will be loss. No Capital Gain tax to be paid. 3. In case there is profit in actual figures, then you should pay the tax under the category of self assessment(300) because advance tax dates have already passed. Please pay the tax after 31.03.2020. then the system will accept the payment.

so taking the eg of 100 gms further, sir, 430/999x875 (PURITY as ours was 21karat)x100gms=37661, indexed price is 37661x289/100=108843. SP 3000x100=300000-108843= taxable amt without indexation is giving lesser tax.thanks, one last question sir, since capital gains upto 1lakh in a yr is non taxable, is this to be exempted from the gains earned and rest is to be taxed (eg 300000 earned - 100000=200000-fmv=taxable income) or because earning is above 1lakh so entire amt ie 3lakhs -fmv 37661=262339 fully taxable?

profit in actual in the sense it is inherited so we hv not incurred any cost to purchase but we have earned on selling it after inheritance so we wl be liable to pay....even if it shows loss in calculation...am i right, sir?
01 April 2020
@ Anita: Long Term Capital Gain from sale of shares and mutual fund upto the extent of Rs. 1 Lakhs is exempt. In your case, the gain is earned from sale of jewellery, hence no exemption. Entire gain will be taxable.
01 April 2020
If in your capital gain taxation there is loss on sale of jewellery then there will be no tax payable on it. You will be able to carry forward the loss for future years set off.
01 April 2020
Although the jewellery is received in hesitance, cost to the original owner has to be considered in this case. Since the jwellery was purchased before 2001, we have to take the cost of jwellery as on 1-4-2001 in yu case

How do you calculate sales tax on gold? Spurto consultancy services, what i find on internet is this--Shubham Agrawal, Senior Taxation Advisor, TaxFile.in says, "The calculation of LTCG can be done by subtracting the original purchase price or fair market value of gold on 1 April 2001, whichever is higher, from the selling price. The resultant capital gain will be taxed at 20.6%.Nov 25, 2019 if u r sure, as you are dealing in these matters on a daily basis, about 10% rate of tax on ltcg of gold on FMV< i will go ahead and pay 10% tax on SP.

spurto consultancy, yr mentioning 10% on fmv. i got on google search on economic times the foll stating 10% flat on fmv is on equity shares only It is important to compute the long-term capital gains/long-term capital losses (LTCL) on the assets which have been or are planned to be sold in FY 2019-20. The tax payable on such indexed LTCG is 20 per cent plus cess at 4 per cent.
There are two things that individuals need to keep in mind regarding the cost inflation index.
Firstly, this number will be used to calculate inflation-adjusted cost only for those assets where inflation-adjusted (indexation benefit) is allowed ..

Your Capital Gain calculation: Sale Consideration 3,00,000.00 Indexed Cost of Acquisition 1,24,270.00 (4300*10)*289/100 Long Term Capital Gain 1,75,730.00 Tax Payable Nil (because total income below Rs. 2,50,000)
Since your total income do not increase the basic exemption limit of Rs. 2,50,000 it is not mandatory for you to file your income tax return.

fmv is 430*100=43000 if indexed price to b taken as per you, then 43000*875/999=37663 indexed price:-37663*289/100=108846 SP-100gmsx3000=300000-108846=191154. 20% of 191154=38230+ 4%cess 1529=39759 or simply, SP-fmv (no indexation) - 300000-37663=262337 20% of 262337=52467+4%cess=2099 plus 4 days late payment as per 9%-9% of 39759=rs39 ok sir, from what i understand, from your methods and explanation, plus internet searches, this is the final calculation and i can see that as per yr guidance, indexed price of fmv is more beneficial. pls guide on this final calcualation

In the earlier calculation, took 24 carat as purity Your indexed calculation is correct, you can proceed with the same: Sale Consideration Rs. 300000 Indexed cost of acquisition Rs. 108845 (4300*10)*875/999*289/100 Long Term Capital Gain Rs 191155 Tax on LTCG including Cess Rs. 39,760 As mentioned above, you do not have any other source of income except the Capital Gain. Your total income do not increase the basic exemption limit of Rs. 2,50,000 allowed to individuals. Hence it is not mandatory for you to file Income Tax Return.
