• Capital gains and income tax liability

Sirs,

I sold two properties  by obtaining power of attorney from the original seller after making  payments for the same to him. 
Now I  wish to know if can put the sale proceeds in fixed deposits in banks without incurring any tax liability. These properties were bought from my personal savings. I bought these properties in 2013.

before going to any conclusion please provide date of purchase and sales along with consideration amounts.

Hi Venky

When did you sell the properties?

If it is after 3 years of holding LTCG shall apply.

To save the Long term capital gains, you have following options:

1. Invest in 54EC bonds within 6 months of the sale.

2. Invest in another residential house property.

Hi,

The capital gain tax liability will depend upon your cost of acquisition, date of purchase, any major improvement made on the property after purchase,, sale value and sale date.

Please let us know these things to calculate tax liability.

Further, you can invest the money again in residential property or NHAI/REC bonds to save taxes.

Please feel free to call revert in case you need more clarity.

Thanks and regards
