Capital gain and the tax on it

Same rule in every state: the Income-tax Act applies across India.

Capital gain₹20,00,000
Type of gainLong-term (held over 24 months)
Rate12.5%
Tax on the gain₹2,50,000

Long-term gain taxed at 12.5% without indexation (Income-tax Act 2025, section 197(1), sale on or after 1 April 2026), before surcharge and cess. Home bought before 23 July 2024 by a resident individual or HUF: 20% with indexed cost at most (section 197(3)).

Gain = sale price − purchase price, before deductible costs. Brokerage, reinvestment exemptions and TDS are not included.

Madhya Pradesh in context

Where Payotte reads the rates, the duty on a ₹50 lakh home runs from ₹2,50,000 in Uttarakhand (5% of the price) to ₹5,00,000 in Puducherry (10%): seven states and union territories out of 36, which leaves Madhya Pradesh off that scale.

On the simplified outline Payotte draws, Madhya Pradesh spans about 890 km east to west and 645 km north to south. Of its covered cities, the two most distant, Bhopal and Indore, are 170 km apart as the crow flies. The nearest of the seven states and union territories whose duty Payotte reads is Rajasthan, about 545 km from the centre of Madhya Pradesh, at 6% of the market value (DLC rate): a point of comparison, not Madhya Pradesh's rate.

Payotte covers two cities in this state: Bhopal and Indore. None of them has a RESIDEX figure, so the price movement here can only be read from the RBI's index of 18 cities (+3.6%).
