A 70-year-old individual is seeking clarification on Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG) tax. They purchased a flat in 2000, sold it in 2016, and reinvested the proceeds into another flat in Bangalore in the same year. Now, they wish to sell the Bangalore property without buying another and want to know how the proceeds will be accounted for, especially as they anticipate no capital gain on this sale.
