Capital gain vs minimum threshhold limit

Sir, I have only captial gain from the sale of residential property which is in long term. So, can I get the minimum threshhold limit of Rs.2,50,000 from that capital gain or do I have to pay tax @ 20% on the entire gain that I got., Kindly help me out.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether the £2,50,000 minimum threshold limit can be applied to long-term capital gains from selling a residential property. The consensus is that yes, the basic exemption limit can be adjusted against long-term capital gains if there are no other income sources. Therefore, tax is payable on the amount exceeding £2,50,000, not the entire gain.

A resident individual can adjust the basic exemption limit against long term capital gains (LTCG). A resident individual can adjust the LTCG but such adjustment is possible only after making adjustment of other income, if any

But as you have only LTCG in your case , than your tax liability is NIL
Sir. my long term capital gain is of Rs.10,00,000 without having any income under any other head , therefore now, do I have to pay LTCG tax @ 20% on Rs. 7, 50,000 after deducting of Rs. 2,50,000 of minimum threshhold limit or on Rs.10,00,000. kindly clarify.
Yes, You have to pay LTCG tax ( @ 20% + 4 % Cess on tax ) on Rs. 7, 50,000 after deducting of Rs. 2,50,000 of minimum threshhold limit.
Total tax = 1,50,000 tax + 6,000 cess = 1,56,000/-

I also Agree with @ Sagar Ji

Thank you so much sir.
Most welcome....... Lakshmi Kanth ji..
