• Capital gain

Hello,

I recently sold a property and my long term capital gain is 1.08 CR. I am an individual and not a joint party.

Is it possible that I invest 50 lakhs in capital gain bonds and use the remaining 58 to purchase a property?

Will I be exempted of the tax then?

Yes, it is possible.

 

Is it property sold value or long-term capital gain.

 

Because long-term capital has to calculate by Index formula.

- You can avial full exemption, i.e entire capital gains after investing in purchasing of a new property.

- If, you will not invest the amount in purchasing or construction of a house , then the amount not invested is Chargeable .

you can invest your long-term capital gains in certain bonds—issued by National Highway Authority of India, Rural Electrification Corporation, Indian Railway Finance Corporation and Power Finance Corporation. You can invest a maximum of Rs 50 lakh in these bonds and investment should be made within six months from the date of sale. These bonds have a lock-in period of five years.
