Formula of Calculation Capital Gain Tax
Cost Inflation Index = ( Index for the year of Sale / Index for the year of purchase) * Purchase Cost
For example,
MR. A purchase Property in 10 Jan 01 for 15,24,000 and sold it on 15 Dec11 for 35,05,000
- Purchase Cost : 15,24,000
- Sale Cost : 35,05,000
- 2000-01 Index : 406
- 2011-12 Index : 785
Cost Inflation Index = ( 2011-2012 Index / 2000-01 Index ) * Purchase Cost
= ( 785/406) * 15,24,000
Index Cost of Property = 29,46,650
Now calculate your Capital Gain
Capital Gain = Property Sale Price – Index cost of property
= 35,05,000 – 29,46,650
Capital Gain = 5,58,350
Capital Gain Tax = 20 % of Rs. 5,58,350 ie. 1,11,670 ( +surcharge ,cess if applicable)
If you are invested 5.60 lakh in Capital Gain Bond , then your tax liability is Zero
