From April 1, 2014 the exemption of the capital gains tax (CGT) under Section 54 and 54F from sale of house in India is only applicable if you purchase a new residential house in India. Therefore, if you purchase a house outside India you will have to pay the capital gains tax on the sale that property in India.
