Quick Summary
This discussion explores the benefits available for capital gains tax arising from the sale of various assets, primarily focusing on Sections 54, 54B, and 54F of the Income Tax Act. It clarifies that gains from rural agricultural land are not taxable, but exemptions exist for urban agricultural land sales (Sec 54B). The discussion also details how to claim exemptions when selling a residential property (Sec 54) or a non-agricultural plot (Sec 54F) and reinvesting in a new house. Section 54EC is also mentioned as an option for claiming exemptions on any capital asset up to £50 lakh.

Gain on Sale of rural agricultural land is not taxable and hence not relevant. Exemption u/s 54b in respect of sale of urban agricultural land and purchase of a new urban agricultural land.

Exemption can be claimed u/s 54 when a residential property is sold and a new house is purchased.

Exemption u/s 54f can be claimed if a non-agricultural plot is sold and a new house is purchased.

Correct, 

 

Also under 54EC you can claim exemption upto 50lacs for sale of any capital asset. you can claim exemption as a combination of sections 54 and 54EC
