Quick Summary
If you're selling a property you've owned for 30 years, capital gains tax will likely apply. However, you can potentially claim exemptions by reinvesting the capital gain amount. This can be done by purchasing another residential property or investing in specified capital infrastructure bonds. Commercial property purchases generally do not qualify for exemption.
Capital gain short term or long term is applicable depending upon period of holding.Exemption available in case you purchase within 2 years of sale of this property Investment in capital infrastructure bonds Sec 54EC
How can I get an exception on this long term capital gain? do I need to buy a property again for whole amount? if yes, can I purchase commercial property? thanks everyone for addressing my query.
If yes, only capital gain amount should be invested either in residential house property or capital gain bonds, or both; but commercial property will not qualify for exemption.
