i have a inherited property which i want to sell and buy a new house. since it is difficult to sell quite soon, so if i purchase a new house now by taking a house loan and repay the loan when old house is sold, will i get any benefit on capital gain on sale of old house later then purchase of new house?
Exemption u/s 54 is available for purchase of property 1 year prior to sale of property. So, yes, you may claim exemption is the property is sold within 1 year after the purchase of new property.
