Dear Sir,

 

Hope you are doing well !!

 

As the date of acquisition falls prior to 1 April 2001, you have a choice to consider the Fair Market Value (FMV) of the property as on 1 April 2001 as your acquisition cost. 

 

It is advisable to get the FMV/ valuation of the property as on 01.04.2001 done from the registered valuer.

 

Government-approved valuers follow a standard process for the valuation and provide a detailed report.

 

Assumptions of any type for consideration of value shall not be entertained by the income tax department. In case of any enquiry, the department will consider the value stated in the valuation report from a registered valuer,"

                               

We can help you in getting the FMV of the property as on 1.4.2001

 

-Amount of capital gain would depend upon sale price, sale date, purchase price and purchase date by you. Please share the details with us for exact capital gain calculation.

 

-Alternatively and/or additionally, you can invest the capital gains of up to Rs 50 lakhs in bonds of NHAI or REC, within six months of its accrual and get the exemption u/s 54EC.

Such bonds shall be redeemable after 5 years. Only interest received on such bonds shall be taxable. There would be no taxes on redemption after 5 years.

 

-If you do not get a chance to invest in a profitable property immediately and still want to save your long-term gains from being taxed, you can invest your capital gains in CGDAS by approaching any public sector bank. The timeframe for the purchase or construction of the property remains unchanged in this case as well. But you can utilise this account momentarily so that you save your gains from being taxed and have more time to finalise a property for reinvestment.

                                                                                    

It is required to deposit such unutilised capital gain in the capital gains account before furnishing return of income but not beyond due date for furnishing return of income.

Hello,

 

Regarding the capital gain amount,

Since the property was acquired before 1st April 2001, you can consider the FMV of the property as on 1st April 2001 as the cost of acquisition of the property. This cost would then be indexed until the year of sale. The net figure of the sale consideration and the indexed cost of acquisition was your Long Term Capital Gain taxable at 20% plus cess.

To claim full exemption, you were required to invest the whole of the sale proceeds in a residential property. Therefore, to claim full exemption, you are required to invest the remaining amount in the Capital Gain account in a residential property.

I hope this answer satisfies your requirements.

Based on the above information your capital gain was 6952000 less 1562376 i.e. 5389624 and you invested 55 lakh which was not enough as you were claiming exemption u/s 54F and not section 54.

Thus, you were required to pay capital gain on remaining 11.31 lakh in the year of sale itself.

It is a bit complicated and I would suggest you to have a phone consultation to discuss everything in detail.

 

Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.

Thank you.

Hi

 

 

Here you can take benefit of section 54 F

Provisions of section 54F of the Income Tax Act provides exemption towards long term capital gain (other than a residential house) when the amount is invested in purchasing or constructing a new residential house property

Hi

 

Calculation of long term capital gains is sales consideration less cost of transfer less indexed cost of acquisition less indexed cost of improvement.

 

In  your case capital gain was rs. 6952000 less  rs. 1562376 i.e. rs. 5389624 

 

Section 54F: Old Asset: Any Asset, New Asset: Residential House

Any Gain arising to an individual or HUF from the sale of any Long Term Asset other than Residential Property shall be exempt in full, if the entire net sales consideration is invested in

  1. Purchase of one residential house within 1 year before or 2 years after the date of transfer of such an asset or in
  2. Construction of 1 Residential House within 3 years after the date of such transfer

In case the whole sale consideration is not invested and only a part of the sale consideration is invested, exemption shall be allowed proportionately i.e.

Amount Exempt = Capital Gain  X   Amount Invested net  Sale Consideration.

Hi

 

If the capital gains were calculated in FY 17-18 at around 54 lacs and you have invested only 33 lacs, the remaining capital gains shall be taxable in FY 20-21 on a proportionate basis.

 

Kindly contact personally for detailed calculation.

Please note that in order to claim exemption, you need to invest the capital gain amount if a house property is sold. However, in case of sale of a land, entire sales consideration needs to be invested.

 

To claim full exemption the entire sale receipts have to be invested.

 

In case entire sale receipts are not invested, the exemption is allowed proportionately.
[Exemption = Cost the new house x Capital Gains/Sale Receipts]

 

It is advisable to take a phone consultation for detailed discussion.
