my friend's son is in UK for last 10 years. He had purchased a flat in Pune for Rs.10,00,000/- in 2011. Now he is planning to sell this flat for Rs. 60,00,000/-. He wants to take Rs. 60,00,000/- to UK for purchasing a flat in UK. Is it possible to take this money to UK? What is income tax liability for this type of transaction ?

Hence your friends son can sell the property and take the receipts from such sale. However he has to file the income tax return for the FY in which sale is effected and capital gain tax has to be paid at the rate of 20%.

Mr sumanth kumar is right.

We have to pay the capital gain tax on the above transaction and then repatriate the money outside india..

For which you will have to get a certificate from an auditor (15 CA & 15 CB)
