How the calculation works

Gain = tax-assessable consideration − eligible acquisition, improvement and transfer costs.

Long-term holding = more than 24 months; taxable gain after verified exemption × 12.5%, plus selected surcharge and 4% cess.

Cash received = actual proceeds − transfer expenses − withholding.

Individual non-resident sale of Indian immovable property. All amounts refer to your ownership share. Long-term tax is a standalone gain estimate, not a full-year assessment.

Worked example

Sale ₹1.50 crore; cost ₹80 lakh; improvements ₹5 lakh; expenses ₹2 lakh: gain ₹63 lakh.
At 12.5% plus cess, without surcharge or exemption, gain tax is ₹8.19 lakh. With ₹20 lakh TDS, cash received is ₹1.28 crore.
