This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

When selling industrial land, you may be able to avoid or reduce Capital Gains Tax. While direct reinvestment into another industrial plot might not always qualify for exemption, you can explore options like investing in NHAI/REC bonds under Section 54EC. Additionally, Section 54G of the Income Tax Act may offer deductions if specific conditions are met.

13 August 2021 As I understand, the exemption in case of industrial undertaking is available only on compulsory acquisition or shifting from urban to rural area or SEZ.
So LTCG would be taxable.
However, if you would invest in NHAI/REC bonds, you may be able to avail exemption u/s 54EC.
