1.Tax on capital gains i.e. difference between cost of acquisition and sale price is taxable, but you buy another house for that gains under section 54EC when you will not liable to tax on gains. You must deposit the gains in Capital Gains Account Scheme in any nationalised bank and withdraw that money to buy the new asset.
2. The rate of tax is 20%
3. answered above.

When you are selling property, tax on such property has to be calculated in terms of short term or long term capital gain. If the property remains with you for more than 3 years, it will be long term gain.

In order to avoid tax on the sale price, you have to invest the amount on the purchase of another asset.

For finer details in your question, it is adviseable to contact a good tax consultant.
