LTCG on sale of property

How much is the LTCG tax on sale of property?

Can tax be paid @ 10% rate without indexation?

Some are of the opinion that 10% is applicable only for sale of equity shares. What is the correct position in law?

Kindly give Section/Rule number if possible.

Thanks.

LTCG 20 % with indexation

LTCG tax rate is 20% with indexation however exemtion cn be claimed u/s 54 or 54f or 54ec subject to the fulfillment of conditions
Nd rate of 10% is in respect of sale of long term securities without indexation...
Long Term Capital Assets are chargeable to tax @ 20 percent. The benefit of indexation isn't available in these cases - 1. Short term capital assets 2. Slump sale 3. Debentures 4. Bonds except Capital Indexation Bonds 5. Depreciable Assets.
