Tax calculation of short term capital gain

My father recently sold a land which he brought less than 3 years ago. from which he earned STCG of  RS 290000. [selling price-(cost of buying+ registration cost)]

.

my question is how much Income tax he have to pay due to this STCG. His income tax exemtion slab is Rs 250000 and this STCG is the only income in this year.?

.

can he get tax benifit  from LIC insurance premium  in this case?

thanks devendra for your information.

I read in a artical that in case of short term capital gain deduction under 80c ( LIC premium, PPF, or others)  not available. are you sure I will get tax benifit from Rs 30000 Lic premium ??

Yes. You shall get the deduction of LIC paid.

If STCG is u/s 111A only then Section 80C deduction cannot be availed.Section 111A deals with sale of securities in which STT is paid & period of holding is less than 12 months....Yours is a sale of  land so you shall definitely get the LIC premium deuction u/s 80C

Yes,you will get the deduction of LIC and Tax Calculation will be done as follow- STCG 290000 LIC -30000 Net income 260000 Tax 1030

thnx to all of you for reply.

can I consider the cost of soil filling, cost of a passage for which I'm not getting any money as improvement cost in time of calculating STCG ?

Hi,

This thread looks very useful to me. But still to get the clear idea , i request one of you to please help me in calculating the Capital Tax gain :

 

Type: Short Term gain ( <36 months)

Gain : 1300000

Income tax Slab: 20% ( salary <10L)

Exemtion Slab : 200000

LIC premiums: 20000

Any other info required, please let me know. 

Thanks in Advance.

For short term capital gain on residential property,  can we claim deduction of amount of investment in new flat  ?

You cannot claim.

 

Do we have any deductions against short term capital gain on house property or land?
