Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the difference between accounting treatment and income tax calculations for the sale of land. For accounting purposes, the gain is calculated based on the historical cost. However, for income tax, the Cost Inflation Index (CII) must be used to determine the capital gain or loss, leading to different figures for each purpose.

For accounting purpose cost of inflation index won't be consider.

Cash/Bank A/c. Dr. 2,50,000
To land A/c. 1,00,000
To gain on sale of land A/c. 1,50,000

Land index value on 2021 is 219708 and the difference of 119708 not required to enter in tally during sales??

Then how gain or loss will be calculated 

Please explain 

 

 

 

As per accounting we will follow historical cost method hence you should post above mentioned entry in tally.

but as per income tax while you are showing gain/loss on sale of asset you should follow CII method of calculation for cost calculation.

In Tally we will book Gain of Rs.1.50L and while calculation of I Tax we will consider 250000L - 219708L ( Index value) =30291/-  ?? 

Exactly

Thanks so much for your clarification and early reply
