Quick Summary
This discussion covers how to report the sale of a home purchased in 2017 with a loan, and sold in 2024 with a loan transfer, on your Income Tax Return (ITR). It clarifies that after applying indexation benefits to account for inflation, the sale actually resulted in a capital loss, meaning no capital gains tax is payable. Furthermore, purchasing a new home this year will not trigger capital gains tax from this specific sale due to the calculated loss.

you will need to report this capital gain Rs.8 lakhs in your income tax return (ITR) under "Capital Gains". Since you held the house for more than 2 years (2017 to 2024), this is a long term capital gain. 

Long-term capital gain on a house property is taxable at 20% with indexation benefit. 

Indexation benefit:-

You can reduce the taxable gain by applying indexation (adjusting purchase price for inflation). 

Cost inflation Index for 2017-2018 =  272

Cost Inflation Index for 2024-2025 =  348

Indexed Purchase Price =  Rs.67Lakhs X (348/272) = Rs.85.73 lakhs

Capital Gain (with indexation) = 75 lakhs - 85.73 Lakhs = Rs.10.73 lakhs (loss)

Since there is a loss after indexation, there is no capital gain tax liability.

Buying a new house: - If you buy a new house this year, you will not have capital gain tax liability from this sale because hou have  incurred a loss after indexation.  

Thank you So much sir for detailed advice.

Thanks a lot

Best Regards,
