12 August 2011 shop sold for 20 lacs and land taken for 18 lacs, here the whole 20 lacs is not capital gain but from it you have to deduct the indexed cost of acquisition.

when the house is "started to construct" you have obtained the permission of local municipal authority, and there is specifically mentioned "to be completed within............" this is a valid document of construction subject to physical verification of property.

13 August 2011 hi, you are not eligible to claim exemption u/s 54f because this section clearly indicates that before filling of return you have to invest gain amount in capital gain scheme, here you are failed to put in the scheme.so whole capital gain will be chargeable to tax. here you cant prove it.
