Capital gains re investment

Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the rules for reinvesting capital gains to benefit from tax exemptions, specifically under Section 54F. The consensus is that to fully benefit from tax relief on the sale of land, you must reinvest the entire net sale consideration (Rs 61 Lac in this case), not just the capital gains amount (Rs 40 Lac). This is because the purchase price is included in the sale proceeds, and the tax law requires the full amount to be reinvested.
