Property capital gain, Bought in 2002 and sold in 2025

I bought a property in 2002 for 3 lakhs and sold for 20 lakhs in Apr'25.

Can you suggest capital gain calculations considering indexation and recent changes in tax rules ?

Quick Summary
This discussion covers capital gains tax calculations for a property bought in 2002 and sold in April 2025. It clarifies that indexation benefits are available for long-term capital gains on apartments, and addresses a common misconception about tax liability for sales under £50 lakhs. The estimated tax liability is around £1.6 lakhs, with suggestions for reinvesting in a new property to potentially reduce this.

If the property is land or building, purchased in 2002, then resident individual can get the benefit of indexation while paying LTCG tax liability over it.

It was an apartment. Will it be considered as land or building ? 

Someone was suggesting if sales value is less than 50 lakhs, there is no tax. Is it true ?

  1. Yes.
  2.  No. Roughly it will be 1.6 Lakhs.

Either purchase/construct new house property.
