Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies capital gains tax exemption on property sales, specifically under Section 54. It addresses when a new property is considered 'purchased' for exemption purposes, determining if the allotment date or sale deed date is relevant. The advice given suggests that the date of agreement to sell is typically considered the purchase date for claiming exemption, and the date of registry is what matters for Section 54 calculations.

You can get the exemption benefit u/s 54
date of agreement to sell is the date of purchase

Is allotment/booking date or date of registry considered for capital gain exemption under section 54?

Under section 54 only such property will be exempt which are purchased prior to 1 year before the date of sale or within 2 years from the date of sale. Date of registry shall be taken
