Tax on house sale.Capital gains or other sources?


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion explores the tax implications of selling a property where the sale deed wasn't officially in your name, but you received capital gains and had TDS deducted. The core question is whether this qualifies as a long-term capital gain and if exemptions under Section 54 or 54F can be claimed, especially when purchasing a new property. The consensus suggests it might be treated as short-term capital gain, potentially impacting exemption eligibility.

Buyer has deducted TDS in my name even though flat has not been registered in my name
I have capital gains of Rs.20 L on this transaction
I have entered into other agreement for purchase of flat on Oct 2023 and paid entire cost of flat.
Can it be treated as long term capital gain and can I claim exemption under section 54 / 54F
