Since your home shall be considered as a long term asset the capital gain will be as follows = 14500000-10500000*(1125/711) = 14500000-16613924 = loss of Rs. 2113924
Please file your IT return on or before due date to claim benefit of set off.
How can i claim this loss. What benefits are there in income tax
You can claim loss by filing your income tax return on time. Benefit would be that if in future you earn any short term or long term capital gain which is chargable to tax, would be set off against this capital loss and you would not be required to pay tax on that. Hence tax savings for you in future.
long-term capital loss can be set off against long-term capital gains only. correct me if iam wrong
You are right. My mistake. Though long term capital gain set off would be available.
Long term Capital loss of Rs.211392. @ studentsca - Take One zero less in your calculation. File income tax return by 31st July 2018 to claim the loss and which can used for set off OR set off and
.... set off and carry forward subsequently.
