ITR for Property Sale in Delhi: Complete Filing Guide

📌 TL;DR - ITR for Property Sale in Delhi Services at a Glance

Every Delhi property seller must report capital gains in ITR. Property >24 months = LTCG. Pre-23 July 2024 purchase: choose lower of 12.5% without indexation or 20% with CII (363). Post-23 July 2024: 12.5% only. STCG at slab rates. Buyer deducts 1% TDS (S.194IA) on >Rs 50 lakh. Exemptions: S.54 (house Rs 10 crore cap), S.54EC (bonds Rs 50 lakh), S.54F (net consideration). CGAS if reinvestment pending. Patron files from Delhi.

Delhi's property market is among India's highest-value. South Delhi (GK, Defence Colony, Vasant Vihar), Dwarka, Rohini, commercial CP - virtually all sales exceed Rs 50 lakh triggering 194IA TDS. Circle rates under S.50C must be verified. Learn more about ITR for Property Sale across India.

Patron Accounting's Delhi office provides end-to-end property sale ITR: indexation choice, S.54/54EC/54F claims, TDS reconciliation, circle rate compliance, CGAS advisory. Integrated with income tax filing and capital gains for complete compliance.

Content is reviewed quarterly for accuracy.

Capital Gains on Property Sale: Classification and Computation

Property profit is STCG (≤24 months) or LTCG (>24 months). Computation: Sale Consideration (or S.50C circle rate if higher) minus Cost of Acquisition minus Cost of Improvement minus Transfer Expenses = Capital Gain. For LTCG with indexation: Indexed Cost = Cost × (363 / CII of purchase year).

Finance Act 2024 created dual-rate for LTCG: pre-23 July 2024 purchases allow choosing lower of 20% with CII indexation or 12.5% without. Post-23 July 2024: 12.5% only. For long-held Delhi properties (10-20+ years), 20% with indexation often produces lower tax.

S.50C: if sale price < circle rate, circle rate is deemed consideration. Delhi circle rates vary by locality, floor, property type. Selling below circle rate increases capital gains even on genuine transactions. Patron verifies for every Delhi property.

Key Terms for ITR for Property Sale in Delhi:

Indexation Choice: Pre-23 Jul 2024 purchase: lower of 20% with CII (363) or 12.5% without. Patron computes both.

S.50C: Circle rate = deemed consideration if sale price lower. 10% tolerance. Delhi rates vary by locality.

S.54: Reinvest LTCG in residential house. Purchase 2 years / construction 3 years. Cap Rs 10 crore. Lock-in 3 years.

CGAS: Deposit LTCG at bank before ITR due date if reinvestment pending. Must utilise within prescribed period.
