About tax on sold property

Following conditions should be satisfied to claim the benefit of section 54.

• The benefit of section 54 is available only to an individual or HUF.

So need to pay any income tax provided that your capital gain amount should be greater than or equal to Amount of New Residential property purchased.

1.Ideally you should have shown in your Income tax Return as income and then take the benefit of section 54.

2.Yeah, you can check it through your Income tax log in - By checking E- File return status

in the present case you need to file your tax returns declaring the capital gains and claiming exemption thereon.

U file the same before 31st march 2016.

since your new house purchase is more than 30 lacs, information has already been sent to department.

At the time of filing your returns, you have to show income under "Capital gain" chapter and claim a deduction for investment in new house property. please ensure the entries are made in a correct manner to ensure no problem in future. Avail services of a CA only in this regard.

Hello Sir,

You should have shown the details in your Income Tax Return for that financial year. Since you have omitted doing so, it is preferable to wait for any communication from the side of Income Tax if any, then you explain it to them that you were unaware of the law and hence missed out in declaring the details. Though you have not evaded any taxes.

Trust this clarifies your query.

Feel free to get back/ call back for any further clarifications.

Thanking You.
