Hi Gottumukkala,

If the property comes under the definition of capital asset u/s 2(14) of Income tax Act, then on the sale of that property capital gain tax would be applicable.

In this case, if it is a capital asset then STCG will be calculated and taxed accordingly as per the calculation of Mr. Devendra.

Dear Gottumukkala

Besides above, as per Section 80C, if a person has claimed the benefit of House loan repayment U/s 80C & have sold the property within 5 years from the ened of the Financial Year in which house was purchased, then ALL the benefits availed under sec80C of earlier years need to be REVERSED & will be included in the taxable income of the year in which the property has been sold.
