Dear Sir,
Hope you are doing well !!
1. It would be treated as long term capital gain.
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.
2.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.
So, you need to deposit only capital gain amount in CGAS on or before due date of filing return for FY 2021-22.
3.You can avoid tax on capital gains from the sale of a house property if you reinvest the money to buy another property. You can claim tax exemptions under this section if you buy the new property one year before the sale or two years after the sale. In case it is under construction, the new property should be ready within three years of the old property’s sale.
4.In case entire capital gains are not invested – the amount not invested is charged to tax as long-term capital gains.
5.No, there is nothing wrong in it.
In fact, you should accept the same in saving account only.
6.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.
Normally, the due date of filing Income Tax return is July 31 for the previous Financial Year. Under extraordinary circumstances, it can be extended by the Finance Ministry.
We may assist you in capital gain calculation & entire procedure.
It is advisable to take a phone consultation for detailed discussion.
