U have to give tax under the head capital gain. Divide cost of acquisition in 3 parts And do indexation of 1 part means of ur share if house is hold 4 more than 3 years then 12 lacs - indexed cost of acquistion is your tax under the capital gain.

According to me,there is no tax implication in ur case.since the house is in ur mother's name and you are merely inhereting it.instead ur mother is liable for capital gain if any..correct me if am wrong

YES, I AGREE WITH SUMIT,THE CONSIDERATION RECEIVED BY U FROM UR MOTHER IS NOT TAXABLE,AND THE CAPITAL GAIN/LOSS WILL BE FOR UR MOTHER

AND THE TAXABLE INCOME WILL BE

SALE CONSIDERATION-EXPENSES FOR SALE-COST OF AQUSITION AFTER INDEXATION

IF THE ASSET IS HELD FOR MORE THAN 3YRS THEN LONG TERM CAPITAL GAIN IF NOT SHORT TERM CAPITAL GAIN

You need to first compute the capital gain tax arising from this sale of 36 lacs. Since this property is in your mother's name, she will have to either invest in another property or invest in some bonds in order to save capital gain tax.
