The exemption is available in case of LONG TERM CAPITAL GAIN if the amount is invested in specified bonds (Section 54EC) or in a residential house property (Section 54F).

First you decide the nature of the investment you would like to invest in.
Do you want to invest in a residential house or in bonds.
If you own more than 1 residential house you cannot invest in the bonds.
If you want to have liquidity, then invest in bonds.
If you are willing to invest for a long period and wont be needing the money in the near future, invest in the residential house.

sir after considering all the deductions and exemptions i have profit of 30 crore, now i want to invest it, and capital gain is not from residential house, let us assume it is from sale of land, now where i can invest it and as i have mentioned earlier that some of the part of total profit is capital gain. so where should i invest the remaining profit ( other than cap. gain)? in which business i can invest it so that i will get tax relief.?

1. Since the capital gain is not from sale of residential house, you can invest in a residential house (Section 54F) or in bonds (Section 54EC).
2. The gains apart from the capital gain are not eligible for exemption.
You can claim deduction u/s 80C by investing in LIC, PPF, NSC, tax saving FDR upto a maximum of Rs. 1 lakh.
You can claim deduction for health policy u/s 80D upto a maximum of Rs. 15,000.

ya i got the treatment of capital gain and thanks for the suggestions related to chapter vi deductions. but its not my query, my query is say i have remaining 25 crores other profit. now i want to invest this money in the bussiness in which i will get tax rebate for example road construction, development of SEZ, mining destruction etc. i want to know about the more new businesses where i will get tax "relief" or other fields in which i invest and get tax relief, just like contract works, govt allow tax relief in various works. so can u tell me the new business or other fields which helps me in the saving the tax by investing money. and chapter vi deductions are in range of max. 100000/- which is very little amount as compare to 25 crore, so it wont be helpful.

Great question! You’re asking about where to invest a **large business profit (₹25-30 crore)** to get **significant tax relief**, beyond the usual small-scope deductions like Section 80C.
Here’s a focused breakdown of **tax-saving investment/business options** for large-scale sums, especially from business profits (not just capital gains):
---
### 1. **Investing in Specified Infrastructure/Development Projects**
Certain sectors offer **tax incentives or reliefs** for large investments, often under the Income Tax Act or via government schemes. Some of these are:
* **SEZ Units (Special Economic Zones):**
* Income from SEZ units enjoys **100% tax holiday for 5 years**, then 50% for 5 years.
* You can set up or invest in an SEZ unit to avail this benefit.
* **Infrastructure Development:**
* Investment in infrastructure (roads, power, railways, ports) can qualify for tax benefits under sections like **80-IA**.
* For example, profits from infrastructure projects can be eligible for **tax holiday up to 10 years** in some cases.
* **Renewable Energy Projects:**
* Investment in solar, wind, bio-energy projects may qualify for tax holidays or accelerated depreciation benefits.
* **Mining and Plantation:**
* Certain mining activities and plantation businesses are eligible for tax incentives.
---
### 2. **Section 80-IA, 80-IB, 80-IC: Tax Holiday & Deductions for Industries**
* These sections offer **deductions from business profits** for businesses engaged in infrastructure, industrial parks, special economic zones, and notified backward areas.
* For example:
* **Section 80-IA:** Profits from infrastructure development like roads, bridges, power generation.
* **Section 80-IB:** Profits of industrial undertakings, including small scale industries and housing projects.
* **Section 80-IC:** Units in specified backward areas.
---
### 3. **Investing in New Businesses Qualifying as Startups**
* Government has tax incentives for startups, including 100% exemption for 3 consecutive years out of first 7 years (under Section 80-IAC).
* Investment in eligible startups can reduce taxable income.
---
### 4. **Setting up a Business in a SEZ or Notified Area**
* Investing in or setting up businesses in notified zones like SEZs, Export Oriented Units (EOUs), or Special Industrial Regions grants **tax holiday benefits**.
---
### 5. **Infrastructure Bonds (Long-term Investment)**
* Although these have an upper limit (\~₹50,000), they offer **5-year tax saving under Section 80CCF**.
* Not useful for large sums but can be a part of strategy.
---
### 6. **Philanthropic or Social Sector Investments**
* Donations to specified funds/charitable institutions can be claimed under **Section 80G**, but again limits apply.
---
### 7. **Capital Investment Incentives in Some States**
* Certain states provide additional **tax incentives or subsidies** for investment in industries or infrastructure within their jurisdiction.
---
### Important Notes:
* **No direct provision** allows you to just “invest in any business” and get a tax rebate on the investment amount itself.
* Most reliefs are **linked to profits earned from specific types of business activities or units** (e.g., SEZ, infrastructure).
* Investing money in capital assets or businesses without specific notification does **not automatically reduce your tax liability**.
* Tax incentives often require **compliance with conditions and approvals** (like registration with development authorities, certifications).
---
### Suggested Next Steps:
1. **Evaluate your core business and interest areas:**
See if you can diversify into infrastructure, SEZs, renewable energy, or other notified sectors eligible for tax holidays.
2. **Consult a Chartered Accountant / Tax Advisor:**
For structuring investment/business to optimize tax benefits.
3. **Explore Government Notifications:**
Many incentives come from government notifications and budgets — keep updated on these.
4. **Consider Setting Up Separate Units:**
Such as a SEZ unit, or invest in infrastructure projects that qualify under tax holiday provisions.
