Yes. you can.

ideally, capital gain benefit will come only if you sell one property and buy another one property. the new property has to be purchased one year before or 2 years after the sale of old property. So the dates are of utmost importance. In case you decide to sell first and buy later, you need to deposit the capital gain amount into capital gain scheme account so as to not pay tax untill 2 years and claim capital gain exemption.
Thank you so much sir...
Capital gain from sale of house property.

Tax laws can be complex and subject to change. It's essential to consult with a qualified tax professional or financial advisor to get accurate and up-to-date information tailored to your specific situation.

In India, when you sell a house property (HP), the profit you make is subject to capital gains tax. There are two types of capital gains:

  1. Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG): If you sell the property within two years of acquiring it, any profit is considered short-term capital gains.

  2. Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG): If you sell the property after holding it for more than two years, any profit is considered long-term capital gains.

I hope the discussion is not exhaustive.
Thanks to all for helping me..

Yes, you can purchase two properties in different cities using the proceeds from the sale of your house property in city A and the amount invested in FD. The capital gain tax benefit would be applicable to the entire sale proceeds of Rs 50 lakhs, even though you are using only a portion of it to purchase a property in city B. The remaining amount of Rs 15 lakhs can be used for any other purpose without any tax implications.

Thank you so much all
