We are the owner of a commercial shop in Bombay City and we want to sell this shop. If we sell the said shop and if the money received after selling the said shop is used for purchasing some agricultural land. Will any type of tax liability will arrive on capital gain ? I think there should not be any tax liability even on capital gain as the 100% capital gain too shall be used for purchasing the agricultural land only. Please clarify the point.

Capital gain tax payable on such sale. No exemption is available from capital gain on purchasing agricultural land out of sale of commercial shop.
