I have the following LTCG transactions:
-
Unlisted shares: LTCG loss of ₹1,00,000
-
House sold: Bought for ₹14,70,000 (2020), sold for ₹15,00,000 (2025). Indexed cost is ₹18,36,279.
Which is correct for calculating my net LTCG?
-
-₹1,00,000 + ₹30,000 = -₹70,000, or
-
-₹1,00,000, because the ₹30,000 house gain is zeroed out and therefore does not reduce the LTCG loss?
If the second treatment is correct:
-
Will I still get the ₹3,750 tax benefit on the house sale, or will I not receive any tax benefit at all?
-
Can I set off the indexation loss of ₹3,36,279 (₹18,36,279 − ₹15,00,000), or is it not allowed?
Please clarify with the relevant provision of the Income-tax Act.
