28 July 2013 No such relaxation. It is available only in case of Capital Gain. This is not a case of capital gain.

31 July 2013 thanks.. :)

31 July 2013 Yes once you have stayed in a property for certain number of year you generate right in the property and the compensation received is to be treated as Capital Gains and the treatment shall be that of an assets which has Zero value of acquisition. Hence, 100% of the compensation is capital gains depending on the number of years you occupied the property.

If you invest in purchase of residential property then the provision of section 54F will apply and no tax is payable if the new acquired property is more than or equal to the compensation received against surrender of tenancy rights.
