Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether a father can claim capital gains tax exemption after selling land and purchasing new land in his sons' names. While direct exemption for the father isn't available, strategies like gifting the land to sons before sale are discussed. The sons could then purchase new property, with capital gains tax falling on them, and potentially claim deductions under sections 54F or 54EC if conditions are met, including purchasing residential property in their names.

Yes Exemption can be claimed
No deduction of capital gain is available to father. (Mere Sale of land is not covered under 54)

it's called deduction and not exemption under 54.

Option is to gift the land to your son's and then sale Of Land. Sale will be by your son's and they can purchase another land in their name.

Capital gain tax on land gifted will be in the hands of your son's equally.

Deduction allowed under section 54F if the net sale proceeds invested in purchase of another residential property subject to such conditions. Even residential property purchased in the name of sons also eligible for deduction based on case laws.

OR

Deduction under 54EC also available.
