Dear Sir, my grandfather's house built in 1972 is being sold by 8 siblings at a total cost of Rs 64 lakh. Each one is likely to get 8 lakh. What are the tax implications of each sibling, assuming that they have all retired?

Ans: Inherited property is taxed in hands of the legal heirs when the property is sold.

Retired or not is not a criteria for taxation.

First, you need to know the market price of the property in 2001 which is a base year.

As the property held for more than 24 months the gains from the property will be termed as long-term capital gains (LTCG). This capital gain is taxed at 20% (plus surcharge and cess) after considering indexation from the fair market value as of 2001.
