Hello, I had bought a flat in May 2011 which I have sold in Nov 2013. One of my friends told me that as I am selling the flat in within 3 years, any profit that I gain from it will be taxable under the STCG clause. Let's assume some figures. I bought the flat for Rs. 15,60,000 + Rs 1,00,000 as Stamp Duty & Registration + Rs. 3,00,000 as Interest on Loan which comes up to Rs. 19,60,000. So the flat has cost me Rs. 19,60,000. I sold the same Flat for Rs. 22,30,000 I would like to know how STCG is calculated. My understanding is as follows, please correct me if I am wrong. STCG = Resell Cost - Flat Cost to me = 22,30,000 - 19,60,000 = 2,70,000. Is this correct? If not then please explain how it is calculated. I would also like to get an idea how the STCG will be taxed. Any help is appreciated. Also I have purchased a flat jointly with my Mother in SRA building for Rs. 35,00,000. Please let me know if I can use this for tax exemption purpose.
Thanks in advance.
