25 March 2015 Hello,
I purchased a residential property in Apr 2008 & now I want to sale in Apr 2015. The property is jointly owned by me & my father.

I wish to avail exemption in capital gain by either investing in another property / Capital Gain Account Scheme / REC bonds.

I also own another property jointly along with my wife.

I read an article saying that capital gain exemption is applicable only if the applicant owns one residential property at the time.
1. Is this correct?
2. If yes, any alternative way I can avail the exemption?
3. If no, should the new investment be jointly done by me & my father so that both can avail the exemption?

25 March 2015 Thanks Sir for prompt response.
I guess my 1st question is not clear.

Hence reiterating -
I am a co-owner of a flat A.
I am also a co-owner of flat B. I wish to sale flat B & claim exemption from capital gains by investments in CAGS / REC Bonds.

Now Since I own more than 1 properties, I can not claim for exemption under capital gain.

Is this correct?
