Capita Gain tax
My father had purchased a land (mango orchard) in the year 1958. My mother , five sisters and I are the heir of my father. We got this ancestral land after my father's death in 1979. In the year 2003 my mother and my five sisters have gifted me their full shares by a gift deed. Now I want to sale the land and to buy a flat using the money. My questions are: 1) Is the long term Capital Gain tax applicable in this case? 2) Is there any relief from Capital Gain tax if I buy a flat in my name or in my wife's name or in my name and my wife's name with this money before one year or within two years from the sale of the land?
