Capital gain tax for nri

I am an NRI, Had bought a property in village (kerala) 10 years back there is a small house in the property though we have never stayed there... I want to sell it to construct a new house in another property of mine. Since the prices of the properties have gone up there is a huge differece in the price of the property. I had brought the property for 12,00,000 now I have a buyer (resident of india) for 1,00,00,000. My question is capital gain tax applicable in my case and if so how can I get exemption.

Kindly reply

According to my knowledge :

There will be capital gain tax....

Computation of capital gain..

Sale consideration                                                                            xxx

Less : Indexed cost                                                                        (xxx)

(indexed cost of your property)

(i.e. indexation of the year in which you acquired the property)

Less : Indexed cost of Improvement                                           (xxx)

(if you did any additional construction)                                     ------------

Long term Capital Gain                                                                    xxx

 

If you are constructing new then such construction should complete within 3 years from the date of sale. And amount which you will get from sale of old asset should deposit in Capital gain account scheme. You can get exemption U/s 54, 54EC of Income Tax Act 1961..

Please provide exact figure and year of purchase and sale if you want assurity.. 

Rectify me if I am wrong..
