Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether capital gains tax exemptions under Section 54 can be claimed when selling agricultural or residential land. While Section 10(37) may offer relief on agricultural land sales, exemptions under Section 54B and 54F are typically tied to reinvesting in other agricultural land or a residential house, respectively. Constructing a business godown on the second plot means these specific exemptions are unlikely to apply.
If you earn capital gain on sale of agriculture land then exemption can not be avail as exemption is only availed on purchase of another agriculture land i.e.as per section 54B
if you sale another land than exemption can be avail in 54F provided you purchase or constructed RESIDENTIAL HOUSE but as he want to construct godown no exemption under that section can be claimed
