Quick Summary
When calculating capital gains tax, the sale consideration is generally the amount received at the time of the asset's transfer. In this scenario, even though the sale deed is being executed in 2023, the full amount was received in 2010 when the agreement to sell was made. Therefore, the capital gain will be calculated based on the 21 lakh received in 2010, with indexation applied. The higher of the stamp duty value or the actual sale consideration received is typically used for this calculation.

For the calculation of capital gain, the sale consideration that needs to be considered is the actual sale value or consideration received at the time of transfer of the asset. In this case, as the agreement to sell was made in 2010 and the whole amount of 21 lacs was received at that time, the sale consideration for the purpose of calculating capital gain will be the same amount of 21 lacs.

@ ayush.....what about rate circle if increased after 13 yrs
Net realisable value is the cost.
Property is said to be conveyance when actual SALE deed is registered
Capital gains occur when actual transfer takes place
in above case ACTUAL transfer is in 2023 though amounts recived in 2010
Now,....capital gains amount shall be difference between amts recived or circle rate (5 percent difference allowed), which ever is higher and applying indexation
So, accordingly after considering above facts capital gain must be ascertained
Please refer Sec
In this case, sale consideration should be stamp duty value or 21 lacs, whichever is higher.
Sale consideration is always considered in case of appreciating asset on the higher side.
