  1. Long term capital gain = sale consideration (sale value) - Indexed cost of acquisition - Indexed cost of improvement - expenses of transfer
  2. If you invest the capital gain proceeds in another house property, you can claim exemption of such gain u/s 54. For this, time limit for acquisition of new house is 1 yr before or 2 yrs after the date of sale. For construction, time limit is 3 yrs from the date of sale.
