He is getting Rs. 18 lac in cheq and 2 lac in cash.

Can he show this as his income? and does he have not pay any kind of tax if he show this as his income?

The sale consideration will be taxable under capital gains tax after giving indexation benefit.

Contact your CA to do the final computation. He is best suitable to advice on minimum tax liability.

Yes it is Capital gain tax....

If a property is sold within three years of buying it, it is treated as a short-term capital gain. This is added to the total income and taxed according to the slab rate.

If a property is sold after three years from the date of purchase, the profit is treated as a long-term capital gain and is taxed at 20% after indexation.
