the tax liability shall be taken after complying with the following formula ;
get fair market value of the property(land + property) on 1st April 1981.
then multyply it with index of 2008 divided by 100.
then deduct it from the sale proceed.
you will get your capital gain after dividing it with 3.
Now you must use this gain for residential property either within one year before or three years after the gain. you can also use this amount for construction for residential purposes only.
