Hi,

Can anyone comment on the LTCG taxation on sale of house property in following case?

Year 1 ltcg 50 lakh on sale of house property. Bonds purchased under section 54EC 40 lakhs. Amount deposited in CGAS 20 lakhs. How much will be the ltcg liable to tax - a. 0 lakh, b. 10 lakhs, c. 30 lakhs.

Year 4 no property purchased hence nil withdrawl from Cgas. How much will be the ltcg liable to tax - a. 0 lakh, b. 10 lakh, c. 20 lakh, d. 50 lakh.

Please also give the reasons why?

Quick Summary
This discussion explores the Capital Gains Tax (LTCG) implications following the sale of a house property. It specifically addresses how investments in Section 54EC bonds and deposits into a Capital Gains Account Scheme (CGAS) affect the taxable amount. The user seeks clarification on the exact LTCG liable for tax in different scenarios, including withdrawals from CGAS and the effective deduction achieved through these investments.

  1. Rs. 0 lakhs
  2. Rs. 20 lakhs.

thanks for the reply.

One more question on 2nd answer.

Does it imply that in case LTCG in yr 4 is 20 lakhs, then deduction provided u/s 54EC is effectively 30 lakhs instead of 40 lakhs deposited? 

That is the net effect but it will not alter tax liability.
