2. Can the sale proceeds(say 30 lakhs)can be split in Husband and Wifes name (say 15 lakhs on each)and if kept in Bank FD separately, with Form 15 G to avoid TDS do they have to file Income Tax return?

2. The sale proceeds after payment of long term capital gain tax at 20% can be deposited equally in both names in FD and Form 15H can be given and no need to file return.

22 March 2015 After deducting the Indexation from the sale proceeds the capital gain if invested in Capital Gains Bonds sec 54 EC then you need not pay the 20% capital Gain tax on the gains please confirm.
