Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG) tax implications on selling a residential property. The original poster inquired about reinvesting only the capital gain portion to save tax after selling a house. Experts advised that due to indexation, the seller actually incurred a capital loss, not a gain. This loss can be carried forward to future tax years, provided the tax return was filed by the due date.

You do not need to invest anything as your indexed cost of acquisition is above 62 lakhs so you have capital losses of Rs 7 lakhs which you can carry forward and take the benefit in subsequent years. For detail understanding check your inbox.
Sir you sold the property after 2 years of holdings, so the CG will be long term and indexed cost of acquisition is used for calculating LTCG.

In your case Indexed cost is 6149167 i.e. 47lakhs*317/240 and Long Term capital loss will be 649167 i.e sales consideration less indexed cost.
Agree with all previous comments. Please note, if you have not filed your return within the due date, then you will not be able to carry forward these long term capital loss.
