MANDATORILY

Capital gains after indexation, (roughly 3 lakhs), along with other income/s.

"what could be the tax percentage on property income?"

20%+ cess .... roughly Rs.60,000/-

"what if I buy another property immediately? can I save any tax?"

Yes exemption u/s. 54/F (depends upon nature of property sold) can be claimed by purchase or construction of a house property within next 2/3 years.
