Capital gain investment timeline sale of property

Hi,

I have purchased under construction property which will be ready in 2027 May.

If i want to invest capital gain from sale of existing property in above property, when should I plan to sell the existing property?

Is it within 1 year from the time new property is booked?

 

Thanks

Abhi

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the timeline for investing capital gains from a property sale into a new under-construction property. To qualify for tax relief, the sale of the existing property must occur within one year before or two years after the registered sale agreement date of the new property. It's also essential to pay at least the capital gains amount to the builder before filing the relevant Income Tax Return.

Within one year before registered sale agreement. (Or two years after that)

It must be within one year.

Ok , thanks, just to confirm, i can sell old one 2 years after the sale agreement of new property and the construction of new one should finish within 2 years of sale?

Yes, eligible, if you pay (at least) the capital gain amount to builder before filing relevant ITR.
