Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the calculation of Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG) tax on a property sale. The initial calculation appears correct, and the mother is liable for the tax as the sole owner. To save tax, investing the capital gain amount in a new house within three years or in capital gains bonds before June 2023 can be effective. Capital gains bonds have a 5-year lock-in period, while property investment under Section 54 has a 3-year lock-in.

05 May 2023 We are family of 3 brothers and mother. My father (expired in February 2017) purchased one flat in June 2016 and after death of father , 3 brothers gifted their portion to mother via gift deed and flat got transferred in my mothers name. My mother , 58 yrs , has sold a society flat in December 2022 for 35 lacs. Purchase Price was 20 lacs , stamp duty 1.4 Lacs , registration fees 10K. Long term capital gain is coming as Rs. 804356 (35 lacs - 21.50 lacs/264*331).

__the calculation of capital gain is correct ?

__ we want to save long term capital gain , basic exemption limit for FY 2022-23 is Rs. 2.5 Lakh , balance Rs 554356 if we invest in capital gain bond , the we will be able to save capital gain tax ?

2. No, lock in period of 5 years. Alternatively, it can be invested u/s. 54 for 3 years lock in period.

05 May 2023 sir , I did not get , how amount can be invested in capital gain bonds for 3 yrs under section 54 ?
