The sale consideration shall be divided equally among all the legal heirs.
Also, the indexed cost of acquisition shall be divided equally among all the legal heirs.
The balance amount shall be taxable in the individual hands of the leagal heirs.
If the property was a RESIDENTIAL HOUSE PROPERTY, then exemption u/s 54 can be claimed by investing the amount in another residential house property.
Alternatively, the amount can be deposited in a Capital Gain Scheme Account.But the same is to be utilised within a period of 3 years for purchase/construction of a RESIDENTIAL HOUSE PROPERTY.
