Yes, If Flat-A is long term Capital Assets than you can take benifit of Section 54 of the income tax Act, 1961[As Purchase before 1 year]...Cost of Flat-B will be deducted from long term capital Gain on sale of Flat-B
13 October 2020
Clearly NO, because Flat B is purchased MORE THAN ONE YEAR from the date of sale of Flat A.
