If the reinvestment is in rural agricultural land, there will be no capital gains even if it is sold with in a maximum period of three years because rural agricultural land is not a 'capital asset'. However, for the purpose of notional computation of capital gains, the amount for which the benefit availed under section 54B will be reduced from the cost of the rural agricultural land.
