1. I bought  new  apartment   and registration  was one  on  30 March 2016.    Apartment is on  tne name  of  myself and my wife. I have taken  32 Lakhs  loan from  SBI  out of  45 Lakhs.

2. I sold  my residential   plot  on  12 May  2016  which  is on the name of  myself and  my wife  for  20 Lakhs.

3. I bought the plot  for  Rs.72,000/-  on 01 Dec 2003.

4. Please let me know  the  amount of  capital gains.

5.Since  I have  bought   apartment  before  one year   from Sale of  residentail plot,  does it  qualifies  for  capital  gains  tax  exemption.

6. My wife is  IT professional.  Can I show  capital  gains in my return  or   both  have to show?

Please advise.  Thanks in advance.

The Capital gain arising from sale is NIL.
You are qualified to claim exemption as per section 54F of the IT Act.

Better show in your return of Income to avoid future complexities.

Thanks   a lot!!!
