An individual sold a residential property and reinvested the proceeds into a new one, making a part payment that exceeded the sale consideration. However, the possession and registration of the new property are scheduled for 2028, more than three years after the sale. The query concerns eligibility for capital gains tax exemption based on the payment made versus the requirement for registration or possession within three years. The advice suggests that completion of construction or possession within three years might be necessary, and an appeal may be required if the Income Tax Department doesn't grant the exemption.
