21 December 2014 As per section 47 inheritance in exempt from income tax

As per section 49(1) cost of acquisition shall be deemed to be cost of previous owner

As per section 2(42A) period of holding shall include holding period of previous owner also

Therefore Long Term Capital Gain will arise and taxable under section 112.

Further, assessee claim exemption if invested in new house (under section 54) of invested in Bonds of NHAI or Reci under section 54EC
