Sir the capital gain is not counted from the guidance value it is calculated by Long-term capital gain Full value consideration Less : Expenses incurred exclusively for such transfer Less: Indexed cost of acquisition Less: Indexed cost of improvement Less expenses that can be deducted from full value for consideration*

So the amount after calculation shall be your capital gain on that either you have to pay the capital gain tax or to save you can invest in government bonds or house property.(Plot shall not be considered a house or flat need to be purchased or constructed))

Dear Client,

To save CGT - You purchase ONE house within 1 yr before the date of transfer or 2 yrs after or construct ONE house within 3 yrs after the date of transfer and do not sell this house within 3 yrs of purchase or construction.

Construction necessary.

The amount received towards sale consideration shall be the amount received by you, forget about the guidance value or market value on that.

You have to bring it to the book the actual and total sale consideration amount received

For exemptions under long term capital gains you may follow the procedures as provisioned in section 54 of income tax act. Until you are not buying a residential flat/apartment/house out of the capital gains amount, you will not be eligible for an exemption alternately under section 54F you can buy government bonds, you may consult your auditor on this.

show guidance value plus a little more as agreement value

balance people mostly deal in cash

if you show entire market value in your agreement then you will have to pay capital gains tax on the whole

for saving tax you will have to purchase a residential house or construct a residential house

you will have to convince the assessing officer that the plot bought by you from sale proceeds of old property will be used to construct a house. Otherwise he will dispute the same and disallow the deduction benefit
