Exemption in Capital Gains

This query is : Resolved 

12 September 2016 In order to save Tax on LTCG, one can invest in Residential Property. My question here is : Suppose a person is willing to buy house worth 55 Lacs. He has arranged 45 Lacs of Rupees and will be arranging 10 Lacs as loan from Bank. Now suppose he received 10 Lacs from sale of some other property which was inherited to him from his father after death. And subsequently he prepaid the loan amount of 10 Lakhs in one shot. Can he claim Exemption under Capital Gains in this case? I agree he has not invested the sale consideration directly but used it to prepay the loan he took for investing in house.

12 September 2016 Repayment of loan will be considered as investment in property. If the time gap is less than one year then exemption under capital gain can be claimed.

13 September 2016 Thank You Sir..!!
