- 2. Long Term Capital Gain:
1. Short Term Capital Gains :
If any taxpayer has sold a Capital asset within 24 months and Shares or securities within 12 months of its purchase then the gain arising out of its sales after deducting therefrom the expenses of sale(Commission etc) and the cost of acquisition and improvement is treated as short term capital gain and is included in the income of the taxpayer.
The deduction u/s 80C to 80U can be taken from the income from short term capital gain apart from the short term capital gain u/s111A
i. Taxability of short term capital gains:
Section 111A of the Income tax Act provides that those equity shares or equity oriented funds which have been sold in a stock exchange and securities transaction tax is chargeable on such transaction of sale then the short term capital gain arising from such transaction will be chargeable to tax @15% from assessment year 2009-10 onwards.
The short term capital gains other than those u/s 111A shall be added to the income of the assessee and no such benefit is available on short term capital gains arising in other cases and they will be taxed normally at slab rates applicable to the assessee.
If an assessee does the business of selling and purchasing shares he cannot take advantage of section 111A or section 10(38). In this case income will be treated as business income.
ii. Capital gains in case of depreciable assets :
According to section 50 of Income tax act if an assessee has sold a capital asset forming part of block of assets (building, machinery etc) on which the depreciation has been allowed under Income Tax Act, the income arising from such capital asset is treated as short term capital gain.
iii. Where some assets are left in block of assets:
If a part of such capital asset forming part of a block of asset has been sold and after deducting the net consideration received from sale of such asset from the written down value of the block of such asset the written down value comes to NIL then the gain arising shall be treated as short term capital gain and in such case where written down value has become NIL no depreciation shall be available on such block of asset even if some assets are physically left in the block of assets.
iv. When no assets are left in block of assets:
If the whole of the capital assets forming part of a block of assets have been sold during a year and the assessee has suffered a loss after deducting the net sale consideration from the written down value of the block of assets then such loss shall be treated as short term capital loss and no depreciation shall be allowed from such block of assets.
It was decided by Chandigarh tribunal in (2004) 3 S.O.T. 521/ 83 T.T.J. 1057 if the whole of capital assets in a block have been sold in a year and some gain arises after the sale such gain shall not be treated as short term capital gain if some new asset has been purchased within the same year in the same block of assets and the total value of new and old capital assets in the same block is more than the sale consideration of the assets sold, since the block of asset does not cease to exist in such case as is required u/s 50(2). This can be explained with an example as below:
Written down value of 5 Machinery as on 01-04-2020 – Rs. 500000
5 machinery sold on 01-05-2020 – Rs. 600000
New Machinery purchased on 01-06-2020 – Rs. 250000
now in above cases the difference between the w.d.v and sale value i.e Rs 100000 can not be treated as short term capital gain in the year 2020-21 since new machinery has been purchased in the same block of asset afterwards in the same year and the total of new and old machinery is more than the sale value of the machineries sold as a result the block of asset continue to exist.
v. Short term capital gain where land & building are sold together:
Some times it happens that in a block of assets namely land & building, the whole of land & building is sold together. In such cases the capital gain on land and building should be calculated separately.
The Supreme Court has held in (1967) 65ITR 377 that depreciation is available on the value of building and not on the value of plot. Considering the above decision of Supreme Court, the Rajasthan High court in (1993)201 ITR 442 has held that Plot and building are different assets. If the assessee has purchased plot more than 2 years back and constructed building on it less than 2 years back then the gain arising on sale of plot shall be long term capital gain and the benefit of indexation shall be given on it whereas the gain arising on sale of building shall be short term capital gain and will be added to the income of the assessee. Therefore, both should be calculated separately.
Where the plot has been purchased more than three years back and the building has been constructed on it less than 2 years back, it is advisable that in the sale deed the sale value of plot and building should be shown separately for more clarity and if the consolidated sale value of the Plot and building has been written in the sale deed then the valuation of plot and building should be done separately from a registered valuer.
vi. Capital asset transferred by the partner to the partnership firm:
As per section 45(3) of the Income Tax Act 1961 if any partner in a firm transfers his asset to the firm then the capital gain on such asset as arising to the partner shall be calculated by presuming the sale value of such asset as is shown in the books of accounts of the firm and not the market value of the asset.
whether such gain is treated as long term or short term will be decided as below:
a) If the depreciation has been claimed on the asset transferred to the firm then in view of section 50(2) the gain arising there from will be treated as short term capital gain.
b) If the partner has been the owner of the asset for more than 24 months and no depreciation has been claimed on it then the gain arising from such asset shall be treated as long term capital gain.
vii. Capital gain in case of Dissolution of a Firm:
As per section 45(4) of the Income Tax Act where any partnership firm or AOP or BOI is dissolved and the Capital assets of the such firm or AOP or BOI are transferred by way of distribution of assets to the partners at the time of Dissolution in such case the gain arising from such transfer to the partners will be treated as capital gain and the firm will be liable for paying tax on it in the year of distribution of the assets.
For the purpose of section 48 the fair market value of the asset on the date of such transfer shall be deemed to be the full value of the consideration received or accruing as a result of the transfer.
2. Long Term Capital Gain:
A Capital Asset held for more than 24 months and 12 months in case of shares or securities is a long term capital asset and the gain arising therefrom is a long term capital gain. Long term capital gains are arrived at after deducting from the net sale consideration of the long term capital asset the indexed cost of acquisition and the indexed cost of improvement
of the asset.
The Central govt notifies cost inflation index for every year. The indexed cost of acquisition is calculated by multiplying the actual cost of acquisition with C.I.I of the year in which the capital asset is sold and divided by C.I.I of the year of purchase of capital asset. Similarly the indexed cost of improvement can be calculated by using the C.I.I of the year in which the capital asset is improved. Where the capital asset was acquired before the year 2001 then the cost of acquisition shall be the fair market value or the actual cost of its acquisition which ever is higher. The Fair market value of a capital asset can be known by the valuation of the registered valuer.
i. The cost inflation index table:
| Financial year | Cost Inflation Index |
| 2001-02 | 100 |
| 2002-03 | 105 |
| 2003-04 | 109 |
| 2004-05 | 113 |
| 2005-06 | 117 |
| 2006-07 | 122 |
| 2007-08 | 129 |
| 2008-09 | 137 |
| 2009-10 | 148 |
| 2010-11 | 167 |
| 2011-12 | 184 |
| 2012-13 | 200 |
| 2013-14 | 220 |
| 2014-15 | 240 |
| 2015-16 | 254 |
| 2016-17 | 264 |
| 2017-18 | 272 |
| 2018-19 | 280 |
| 2019-20 | 289 |
| 2020-21 | 301 |
If a capital asset has been subjected to depreciation then no indexation benefit is allowed on sale of such capital asset in view of section 50(2) as discussed above.
ii. Capital gain from Plot and building should be separately calculated:
As discussed above plot and building are separate assets and the capital gain on above should be calculated separately. If the plot is purchased more than 2 years back and building has been constructed within 2 years the capital gain on plot will be considered as long term and the capital gain on building will be treated as short term capital gain.
iii. Taxation of Long term capital gains:
The long term capital gains are taxed @ 20% after the benefit of indexation as discussed above. No deduction is allowed from the long term capital gains from section 80C to 80U. But in case of individual and HUF where the income is below the basic exempted limit the shortage in basic exemption limit is adjusted against the long term capital gains.
Section 112(1) provides that any capital gain arising from a long term capital asset being the listed securities which are sold outside the stock exchange the long term capital gain shall be calculated on such securities as below:
a) Tax arrived at @ 20% on such long term capital gain after indexation u/s 48 or
b) Tax arrived at @ 10 % on such long term capital gain without indexation
Whichever is less.
The long term capital gain on equity shares or units of equity oriented mutual fund which are sold in the stock exchange and on which securities transaction tax is paid, is exempt u/s 10(38).
iv. Section 50C:
The provisions of Section 50C of the Act states that where the consideration received or accruing as a result of transfer by an assessee of a capital asset, being land or building or both, is less than the stamp duty value for the purpose of payment of stamp duty in respect of such transfer, the value so adopted or assessed or assessable shall, for the purposes of section 48, be deemed to be the full value of the consideration received or accruing as a result of such transfer.
From the above, it is apparent that the provisions of Sec. 50C of the Act will get attracted where a capital asset, being land or building or both is transferred for a consideration, which is less than the stamp duty value. Thus, the basic condition for invoking the provisions of Section 50C of the Act is that the asset transferred should be a capital asset as per Section 2(14) of the Act.
Thus, a rural agricultural land, not being a capital asset u/s. 2(14) of the Act is beyond the ambit of Section 50C of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and any transfer of a rural agricultural land for a consideration, which is less than the stamp duty value is out of purview of Section 50C.

The assessee has claimed the long term capital loss on account of investments written off during this AY. these investments were made by the company during PY for development of manufacture of components in India. due to recession and cost advantages over other international players, these companies are unable to generate income. these amounts were written off on account of liquidation of these companies by the orders of Honorble High Court. these companies are having no assets to distribute to the shareholders. the investment loss is not included in the business loss. now the assessee has written off this loss after claimingindexation. Is indexation allowable are the book value should be adopted for write off as per IT act.

I was a non resident Indian for 6 years when I bought some debt and equity mutual funds in that country. I am now a resident. I am told that long term capital gains from sale of equity mutual funds held abroad are not tax free as in the case of equity mutual funds held in India but that LTCG from sale of equity as well as debt funds can off set against long term capital losses if I have any. I do not have any long term capital losses.
My question is whether I can apply cost indexation to the sale of equity and debt mutual funds held outside India.

I have a query.pl let me know.Two brothers have jointly purchased immovable property.They have paid down payments from their own a/c equally.Loan from bank has also been approved in their joint names.EMI s will also be paid equally by both of them.Now let me know who will deduct TDS u/s 194IA and who will include income u/s 56(2).Also let me know does IT dept will treat the transaction as one by AOP,although there is no express indication in any document by both of the above assessees.
My query is, I have LTCG from equity shares all listed in the stock exchange, STT paid on all transactions. While section 112(1) provides for total exemption of tax US(10)38 on such LTCG, I do not find exclusive columns in IT returns form ITR-4. This seems clubbed with LTCG from all classes of assets, which is confusing. Shall appreciate if you will clarify if I should report under Schedule CG section B4 (a to e); B7, C, D1.

Thanking you, Janakiraman

Our partnership firm was registered in 1972 and a 9 ground plot of land was purchased from SIDCO in Chennai in1972 at a cost Rs.30,928.50, has been shown in our balance sheet since 1972 till date, without any revaluation. Two years back we had entered into a joint development agreement and the Developer has built 6 floors, to be shared equally at 3 floors each. We have given them POA to sell the 50% undivided share of land out of the 9 grounds. They have since registered this undivided share of land to three parties at the guideline value of Rs.1,63,92,376 * 3 = Rs. 4,91,77,128 in the months of Aug, Sep & Nov 2011.
Please let us know how best to reduce the incidence of Capital gains taxes payable by us.
Regards,
In year 2000, I had bought a residential-plot of land in an unauthorized colony in Delhi from the original owner (who got it from the colonizer) for Rs 275000/-. In that year the GPA was possible so I had got one done.
There is a possibility of getting a price of 20,00,000/- for this plot (It still is an unauthorized colony – implies no registry/GPA).
Now I have purchased a plot of land separately via Homeloan-for-residential-plot (Rs 17 lacs) in Jan 2011 in an authorized/approved colony in NCR.
Query1: Will there be a LTCG on this plot? How much would it be?
Query2: If I sell this plot of land in unauthorized colony for 30lac, can I use the proceeds to partially payoff my existing homeloan (for residential plot) of 17 lacs for the second plot?
Query3: Also I intend to construct a house on the authorized plot by year 2014 end. Could I use the remaining amount against the same?

I have an old property that we are now collaborating with a builder to develop. 4 floors will be built and i will retain 3 and the builder will take 1. In lieu of these floors the builder will build the building at his expense and is giving us a sum of money on the execution of the agreement.
Whether this sum of money will attract a LTCG at the time the 1 property given to the buider are registered?
This would take about 1.5 years.
How can i save my capital gain tax & what will be the Cost of Acquisition of that floor which i have to given to Builder?
