Capital gains tax receipt

what should be done from the amount received from the sale of property (land/building) less than 24 months?
For how much period should it be in the bank account before making any kind of investments?
Should the amount be taxed as normal or capital gains tax?

Quick Summary
If you've sold property (land/building) within 24 months of purchase, it's considered a short-term capital gain and taxed normally. While generally no deductions apply, Section 54 of the Income Tax Act may offer exemptions if you reinvest the sale proceeds into specific capital assets. It's advisable to consult with a tax professional for personalised guidance.

Thank you both of you

Sec 54 Series of the Income Tax Act gives the benefit to the Taxpayer to exempt their income from the Capital Gain (here , Short term )

So if you have proceeded from the Short term capital gain (sale within 24 months from the date of purchase) then you can invest the same sale consideration amount in the required capital asset as required in the relevant section.
