Myself and wife purchased a flat (holding 50% each) during december 1997 for and amount of Rs.4,25,000/-,  and sold it on 01.04.2012 for an amount of Rs.18,50,000/-.  The old flat is yet to be regitered in the buyer's name but  the full amount is received. The money is invested to construct an independent house in my wife's name only. Now, whether I have to pay any Long term capital gains Tax. and how much?

Regards

Sampath

Sales consideration = Rs. 18,50,000/-

Less cost of acquisition = Rs. 425,000/-

CII cost of acquisition = 852/ 331 x 425,000/- = 10,93,957 

Long term capital gain = Rs. 18,50,000 - Rs. 10,93,957 = 756,043/-

Long term capital gain tax = Rs. 756,043 x 20.36% = 153,930/-
