Is it a flat in a society? Have you become the member of the society after submitting this gift this year? If yes then you probably cannot sell the flat u/s 29 of MCS Act. 

If any other property, then yes you may sell it and then you may invest in another property to save tax.

your cost willl be deemed to be the cost of the previous owner that is the price at which your father purchased the house(section 49(i)) and period of holding will also include the period of holding of father[2(42A)]. you can sell it at less than stamp duty value as there is no tax implication for you under section 56(2)(vii) as section is applicable to the receiver of the cap asset. 

but your sale consideration will be assumed as stamp duty value as per section 50C.

Hi All, I am reposting this with required details as have been asked by all of you. Request specific answers, please. 1) My father bought a part of house @ Rs. 20000 (Twenty Thousand) in the year 1988. 2) He executed a deed of gift in Oct 2013 and transferred it onto me. The expenses incurred in this transfer is approx. Rs. 19000. 3) I am planning to sell this off by Jan 2014 for around Rs. 17 lacs. 4) I bought another house @ Rs 19.5 lacs in Feb 2012. I need very specific answers on the above transactions 1) From your earler posts I understand that this will be considered under LTCG not STCG? Is that right? 2) Considering various articles of IT act that you have cited what will be the capital gain tax levied on me. A rough calculation will be extremely helpful.
