or

pay tax on (20-2.76)=17.24 @ 10%

no benefits can be availed under chapter VIA under this gain.

Sir, Raghavendra Kuber 852/305 means  cost inflation index of  Property sold year(852)/Property Purchased year(305).

              I required One more confirmation from U.S.Sharma Sir,  I think Those who opted option according to the section 112 are only required to pay long term capital gain tax @ 10% with out getting the benefit of indexation cost.

According to the section 112:- "Where the transfered long term capital asset is in the nature of listed securities or units of UTI or mutual fund or zero coupon bonds,the gain arising from the transfer of such securities or units shall be liable to tax at the rate of 10% on such long term capital gain computed without the benefit of indexation or at the rate of 20% on such long term capital gain computed availing the benefit of indexation,Whichever is more beneficial to the assessee. For this purpose listed securities include the following securities listed in any recognised stock exchange in India:

a) Share, Scrips,Stocks,bonds,Debentures,Debenture stock or other marketable securities of a like nature in or of any incorporated company or other body corporate;

b) Government securities;

c) Such other instruments as may be declared by the central Government to be securities; and

d) Right or interest in securities."

                      Based on the above provision the above case not avail the benefit of 10% tax with out indexation cost benefit. So should be liable to pay 20% tax after considering the indexation cost and no other second choice to the assessee or invest according to the section 54 to get the exemption of capital gain tax.  

                   So i requesting you please confirm and clarifing your answer because as per my knowledge i don't know about such exemption i.e benefit of 10% tax so please give clarification if such exemption available to such case because i required it form my exams and future and i have to update my knowledge.

                                 Thanking you sir,

@  Dintakurthi Tirumala 

Sorry for my earlier post, 10% tax without indexation is not available to the properties, but is limited to Units/ MF/stocks and shares only.

so it does not differ if the assessee does opt for cost inflation index or not, the LTCG would be 20% only.

Thanks for correcting me !!
