Frequently Asked Questions

LTCG is calculated by subtracting the indexed cost of acquisition and any sale expenses from the total sale price. The net gain is taxed at 20% (plus surcharge and cess).

If you hold a residential or commercial property for more than 24 months before selling, the gains are classified as Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG). Otherwise, they are Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG).

Indexed Cost = (Purchase Price) x (CII of Sale Year) / (CII of Purchase Year). CII stands for Cost Inflation Index, which is notified annually by the Income Tax Department.
