Cgt calculator
Profit on sale of immovable property = capital gain
Capital gain = price of property at the time of sale – price of property at the time of purchase
Capital gain on property sold for 100 lac with purchase value 20 lac (purchase value as per dc rates & sold value as per fbr or new rates)

-capital gain = 100-20 = 80 lac profit
-tax on property profit = capital gain tax = cgt

According to new cgt calculations | on profit of 80 lac:-

-10% cgt on sale of property within 1 year of purchase = 8 lac
-7.5% cgt on sale of property within 2 year of purchase = 6 lac
-5% cgt on sale of property within 3 year of purchase = 4 lac
-0% cgt on sale of property after year of purchase = 0

(property price is not what the market value is but the price determined by fbr. At the moment fbr will start taxing real estate transactions according to 35-50% of the fair value of property – but in future like 3-4 years time, all taxes will be collected according to the original value of the property aka fair market value or the price on which property is being sold)
