This query is : Resolved 

06 January 2016 IF Assessee died after selling property then whether it is taxable in the hands of legal heirs and if taxable whether exemption can claim u/s 54 by investing amount in eligible property

06 January 2016 Is legal heir assessed on behalf of the assessee ?
Is he entitled to file the return of the deceased ?
Is he an assessee U/s 2(7) ?
Reply to all is -"Yes".
.
For the purpose of levying tax on capital gains -he is an assessee and for getting the benefit of capital gains scheme he is not an assessee ? Is it reasonable ?
.
Whether the exemption section contemplates a later event ?
.
So, the legal representative is logically entitled to the benefits also and can validly claim the exemption U/s 54.
