A site purchased in 1997 for Rs 110000, constructed house in 2002, with an estimated of Rs 800000. The House is sold for Rs 3000000 in 8/2017. In March 2017 (before sale of old house) the new constructed house was bought for an estimated cost of Rs 5600000 (Bank finance Rs 4950000 + Own contribution (savings) Rs 650000). Please advise the capital gain tax implications, whether to pay capital gain tax, since the new house bought within one year of sale of old house. For exemption of tax will it be restricted to own contribution of Rs 6500000 for purchase of new house.
