Cost Inflation Index: Financial Year 2005-2006 = 117, 2010-2011 = 167, 2022-23 = 331. [CA Nov. 2011] [8 Marks]

Ans.: Computation of Taxable Capital Gain in the hands of Mr. Selvan Assessment Year 2023-24

Notes:

1. The Gross Sale Consideration is taken as per Stamp Valuation Authority of the house as ` 85,00,000 which is higher than 110% of the actual sale consideration of ` 70,00,000.

2. Section 54EC is not allowed as deduction. NHAI bonds are purchased after 6 months from the date of transfer of the house.

3. If the house property acquired in January 2023 for ` 25 Lakhs is sold for ` 40 Lakhs in March 2024 i.e. within 3 years of its acquisition, exemption already granted under section 54 for ` 25 lakhs will be taken back. Thereafter for calculating capital gain on transfer of new house in March 2024 for ` 40 lakhs (Purchased in January 2023 for ` 25 Lakhs), cost of acquisition will be calculated as original cost of acquisition minus exemption availed under section 54. In the instant case it comes to zero. Hence total sale proceeds of new house ` 40 Lakhs are taxable as Short Term Capital Gain.
