I have sold a house for Rs.15.00 lakhs. I have purchased a house site in my wifes name ( she is a housewife with no income of her own) and has started constructing a house on this land, during the next year The cost of land and construction is about Rs.16.00 lakhs. But i have not deposited the sale proceeds in a capital gains account. I have kept the cash in my hand only. what are the tax implications. Can the experts kindly enlighten me?
