Tax Collection at Source or TCS, as the name implies, means
collection of tax at source by the seller or collector,
from the buyer of the goods. As prescribed under Income Tax
Act 1961, it is mandatory on the part of the buyer to pay a
predetermined value of TCS to the seller, while purchasing
a particular commodity. TCS is generally set for business
or trade in alcoholic liquor, forest produce, scarp, etc.
Various lease, license and contracts related to areas like
parking lot, mines and toll plaza also falls under the
umbrella of TCS in India.

whichever is earlier. The seller or collector who collects
the tax is required to deposit it in any of the designated

I had purchased a plot in Nov. 2002 for Rs 18lacs and spent about 20Lacs on its construction. Property is jointly owned by me with my husband in the ratio of 1/3:2/3. I am selling this property for 3cr. How much capital gain I/we have to pay? And can it be set off by purchasing new residential property?

Can we do so or it is only purchase of one residential property against which capital gain can be set off. Please clarify.....
