You have to pay LTCG @ 20% by taking indexation benefit. You can avoid such ltcg if you have invested in approved bonds u/s 54EC
Apply indexation on cost of acquisition and deduct it from sale value 23 lacs . The difference is long term capital gain.
You can invest into capital gain bonds under 54EC to the tune of long term capital gain.

Thanks for the reply. Please further advise me the indexed cost of acquisition or the procedure for calculation.

Take base year 2001 and basr point 100 and in 2018 base point 280
5.1 lkh multiply by 280 devided by 100
u can add const of improvement also into your cost of acquisition

To avoid any mis-calculation, contact nearest tax consultant CA.
