Quick Summary
This discussion explores Capital Gains Tax under Section 54F, specifically regarding the sale of a plot and the purchase of a new house. It highlights that owning more than one residential property at the time of plot sale disqualifies individuals from Section 54F deductions. The thread also touches upon alternative options like Section 54EC for investing capital gains in bonds, and how to calculate capital gains on inherited properties.

First of all you are not eligible to claim deduction under section 54F as you own more than 1 residential property as on date of transfer of plot. so the entire capital gains realized on sale of plot is required to be taxed.
Basic criteria
1. tenure after investing in new house property
2. two houses you cannot own as on that date.
3. capil gain account scheme is also an issue

Any solution on it. How to invest the capital gain amount or entire consideration 

Any solution on it. How to invest the capital gain amount or entire consideration 

What is your capital gain?
If you can invest the entire amount of consideration in another property or construct another property or keep the entire amount in capital gain account scheme..
You can opt for 54EC deduction but that needs to be deposited within 6 months from the date of transfer. as of now, you don't have any choice except to pay tax
If an old inheritated property is sold ,how to calculate the capital gain ? Is there any investment option to avoid capital gain ?
If the inherited property is of land, you can avail 54F deduction by investing the entire net sale consideration in residential property. if the inherited property is of residential property, you can avail 54 deduction by investing capital gains in another residential property.
else you can avail 54EC deduction by investing up-to 50 LAKSHMI in NHAI OR RECL BONDS for a lock in period of 5 years
