Quick Summary

A tenant received a Rs 20 lakh compensation from a developer for the dismissal of her tenancy rights. The core question is whether this compensation is taxable income and if it can be treated as a long-term capital gain. The discussion suggests that it is indeed a long-term capital gain, and investing the amount in government bonds could offer relief from tax liability.
