I have recently sold a flat in Dec.2014 after 5 years of purchase (Dec.2009). After indexation, I have LTCG of 7.5 lakhs.
I have booked an under construction flat in Oct. 2012 and paid almost 50% of agreement value, registration is pending. I have following queries:
1. As per Section 54, reinevstment period is 1 year prior or 2 years after the sale of flat, so in this case as I have booked 2 years prior, what should I do? Does re investment period apply for new purchase in that period?
2. Can I use LTCG of 7.5L for payment of remaining 50% on new flat and claim deduction under Section 54?
3. Can I use LTCG of 7.5L for payment of stamp duty and registration of new booked flat and claim deduction under Section 54?
