Long term Capital Gains on sale of real estate are taxed at 20%, plus a cess of 3%, if the sale fulfils certain conditions. If you sell a property that was gifted to you, or that you have inherited, you will still be liable to pay capital gains tax on it. 

Capital gains tax (CGT) is payable when you sell an asset that has increased in value since you bought it. The rate varies based on a number of factors, such as your income and size of gain. For residential property it may be 18% or 28% of the gain (not the total sale price).

Yes, tax to be paid on long term capital gain @ 20%

Capital gain = net sale consideration - indexed cost of acquisition

Indexed cost of acquisition = Index for the year of sale/ Index in the year of acquisition x cost.
