If you utilise the sale proceed of the immovable proeprty within next two years in another immovably then there is no question of Capital gain Tax.

So under this circumstances I do not find there is any such scope to impose such taz.

1) you have surrendered your flat admeasuring 290 square feet and in exchange received flat of 670 square feet . You are liable to pay tax on such long-term gains at 20%.However, such capital gains are eligible for exemption under Section 54F of the IT Act as you have acquired a residential house after transfer of long-term capital asset

2) As the property acquired by you is a capital asset acquired for claiming exemption under Section 54F, the lock-in period of three years is a binding condition for the property.

3) you are not allowed to sale the new house within three years of its acquisition

4) Otherwise, it will result in violation of conditions of Section 54F and the exemption allowed earlier will be withdrawn.

5) So, if you sell the new property in 2016, you will be liable to short-term capital gains tax, chargeable as per the IT slab rates applicable to you
