Sale consideration = Rs. 30,00,000/-

Less indexed cost of acquisition (land) = Rs. 36,255/- (10,000 x 939/259)

Less indexed cost of acquisition (gr flr) = Rs. 10,86,247/- (450,000 x 939/389)

Less indexed cost of improvement (first flr) = Rs.5,37,969/- (275,000 x 939/480)

Long term capital gain = Rs. 13,39,529/- (30,00,000 - 36,255 - 10,86,247 - 5,37,969)

Investment u/s 54 = Rs. 15,00,000/-

Nil LTCG. Nil Tax. Investment made u/s 54 within one year prior to sale. File your returns u/s 139(1)
