long term capital gain on sale of LAND


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
If you've sold land and made a long-term capital gain, you might be able to claim tax exemption by investing in a new residential property. Under Section 54, you can purchase a new home within two years of the sale or construct one within three years. If the land sold wasn't residential, Section 54F offers similar exemption options with comparable timelines. It's crucial to adhere to these specific investment periods to successfully claim your tax relief.
