• CGAS and capital gain calculation

Hi,
I have 2 questions, one I want to know the Capital gain calculation for my case & second qs(with 3 parts A,B, C) is related to CGAS account and submitting IT return with those details.

Qs. 1)
Please show me the Capital Gains Calculation for my case, details below
Cost of Flat Purchased(around 2008): 6,10,000
Time when I got Possession: September 2012
Time of Deed Registration: Jan2013
Registration Charges and Stamp Duty: 47,028
Advance Maintenance Charges Taken by Builder before possession: 28,630
Maintenance Charges Paid on June2015: 17191

Time when Property Sold: 12th May2016
Brokerage paid for Selling: 25,000
Sale Value: 23,00,000

Qs 2) Since I haven't decided on new property yet, I know I must open a CGAS account within 31st July 2017(which is last date for filing return for the year 2016-17 during which Flat was sold) to save on the Capital gains tax.
I have already applied for the Capital gain account(14 lacs on my own calculation) with IDFC and my cheque has also cleared and bank account debited but still to receive the details, passbook etc. of my CGAS account from them.
My Qs is 
A) if say I am able to open the CGAS account within 31st July 2017 but not able to submit my IT return(for financial year 2016-17) within 31st July 2017 but gets a few days late, so will there be any problem or will that attract any Capital gains tax?
B)Also do I need to mention full calculation of the Capital gain amount while submitting my Return for financial year 2016-17(Ass yr 2017-18)?
C) Also what proof of CGAS account I need to submit with my Return?

Thanks

Yes ,you need to take total purchase cost and index it from 2008.

Also add registration charges and stamp duty and index it from the year of registration. Total of above two costs will be indexed cost of acquisition.

Advance maintenance and maintenance are not eligible for cost of acquisitions

You sale consideration would be 23 lacs minus 50000.

Lastly, deduct indexed cost of acquisition from 22.5 lacs (sale consideration) to arrive at capital gain value.

Hi,

There is no issue if the return is delayed by a few days; interest under section 234A may be levied.

You will have to enter all the details of the transaction, including sale consideration, in your return.

You need not attach any proof of CGAS account. You will have to enter the details in the return.

Your calculation of approximately Rs. 14 lakhs being your capital gain is correct.
