As you are resident individual, you will get slab benefit. It means if your total income other than capital gain is below taxable limit, your LTCG will get reduced by unexpired limit of non-taxable limit. i.e.
Max amount not chargeable to tax Rs. 160000
Your other income Rs. 35000
Unexpired limit Rs. 125000
Hence you have to pay tax on LTCG of Rs. 375000 (500000-125000).
No 80C deduction is available, as your other income is below taxable limit.
And Mr.Pulkesh Mehta, I would like to correct you that LTCG is not chargeable at 15%, its STCG which is chagable at 15%, and that too if it is u/s 111A. (i.e. Trading in shares at recognised stock exchange, paying STT). and LTCG Taxable @ 20%.
