Long term capital gain tax

Sir,

My grandfather purchased a plot in 1942 for Rs.200/-. I acquired the plot upon partition between my family members in 2017 with the market value 940000/. I now  ( June 2025) sold the plot for 1050000/.

How to calculate LTGC tax?

Need your help in this regard.

In case of long-term capital gain, capital gain = final sale price - (transfer cost + indexed acquisition cost + indexed house improvement cost).

To calculate the long-term capital gains accurately, follow the steps mentioned below:

Step 1: Determine the Full value of consideration

Step 2: Determine the Net value of Consideration

Step 3: Calculate the Cost of Acquisition 

The formula for calculating the indexed cost of acquisition is:

Indexed cost of acquisition = Cost of acquisition x (CII of the year of transfer / CII of the year of acquisition)

Step 4: Deduct exemptions under section 54/54B/54D/54EC/54F

Step 5: Long-Term Capital Gains chargeable to tax:

The long-term capital gains chargeable to tax formula is:

LTCG chargeable to tax = Net sale consideration - Cost of Acquisition - Cost of Improvement - Exemptions under Section 54/54B/54D/54EC/54F.
