ONE OF MY CLIENT HAS SALE HIS RESIDENTIAL HOUSE FOR RS. 27 LACS . THIS HOUSE WAS PURCHASED BY HIM IN 2007 FOR RS 18 LACS. AFTER SELLING THIS HOUSE IN DEC 2011 HE HAS BUY A LAND IN RS 16 LACS ,HE WILL CONSTRUCT HOUSE ON THIS LAND IN FUTURE .
WHAT WILL BE TAX LIABILITY (CAPITAL GAIN) IN RESPECT OF ABOVE MENTIONED TRANSACTION.
Suman ji,
In above case, The CG will be 5.08 Lac. (after indexation, as it is a long term property) (assumed purchased in 2006-07, as month of purchase is not mentioned)
Now, if you purchased lang worth Rs. 16 Lac then the whole of the CG will be exempt u/s 54 of the Act, because you are purchaseing a FA. U/s 54 staes purchase of buildings or lands appurtenant thereto.
Members please correct me if I'm wrong.
Asset to be acquired is residential house property and as pointed out by Mr. Ketan Waghela , according to sec 22 house property includes building(s) and land(s) appurtenant to
So if the land qualify of being appurtenant to, then the exemption can be availed.
You have mentioned that the assesse will construct building on the land , if the money is invested in construction then such land is qualified for exemption . But do comply with the provisions. To be on safe side either start construction (though not complete it) or invest in capital gain exemption scheme

Suman...
Agree with Z...
As per Sec 54 - Investment should be made in Residential House Property (purchase or Construction)...
In your case, since building is to be constructed on the land, it should be constructed with 3 years and moreover the amount (capital Gains) should be invested in Capital Gains Account Scheme before the due date of filing the return...
agreee with Z

as per your explanation ...!!!
we can't claim exemption as per 54. B coz.. land is not included in that provision
New asset must be building or land appurtent thereto that building..!!!
so we can't claim 54 for purchase of land

Dear bro
First of all you can clearly mention financial years in questions on Income Tax provisions...!!!!
If you take money of Rs.1Lakh and possesion in 2008 (FY 2007-08)
then it must be long term capital asset as you sale it in 2011(FY 2011-12)
you are the deemed owner as per 53A of the Transfer of Property Act,1882 on 2008(FY 2007-08)
if u take possesion on such previous year
Thanks for opprutunity ...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Phani Kumarji,
The assessee can claim exemption.
The land that is being purchased and assessee is going to construct the house on it, the sec. states also the same, provided construction should be completed within 3 years of transfer.
