Dear Sir, My wife and I bought the residential property in Tamil nadu when we were there for 35 years ago as NRI and it was in my wifes name. Now she has changed the property to my name this year.We both have OCO card. My questions: 1. How much tax I should be pay?. 2.Will it be as Long Term or short term capital gain? 3.Do I have to pay tax both in India and to the resident country?. 4. We have loans in the resident country. Can we pay it with the selling money?. 5. Can we pay of our childrens study loan in abroad? 6. Can we gift some amount to our grand children?.

Thanks.

It would be a long term gain. See below computation for income tax:

Purchase Year = A, Purchase Cost = P, Cost Inflation Index (CII) for purchase year = X
Sale Year = B, Selling price = Q, CII for sale year = Y
Indexed Purchase price = P x (Y/X) = R
Long term capital gain = Q - R = S
Income tax on capital gain = S x 20%

  1. You will have to pay taxes in India and not in resident country.
  2. After paying income tax you can use money for paying loan abroad or gift it to grand children.
