This discussion clarifies how Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG) from selling stocks and land can be used to offset the cost of a newly purchased apartment, potentially qualifying for Section 54F exemption. It also confirms that interior decoration costs can be added to the apartment's cost basis, but furniture and home appliances cannot.
I have bought an apartment costs aprox 77 lakhs in the last year, FY 2022-23 and have LTCG (sale of stocks) of 75 lakhs in the same year 2022-23. At the same time I have around 16 lakhs LTCG (sale of land) in FY 2020-21. Whether the above both LTCG 75 + 16 can be adjusted to the cost of apartment 77 lakhs?
Whether The furniture/home appliances and interior costs can be added in the apartment costs?
