Thanks for the reply.

But what does that mean?

Dear Dr. Jones,

Whether exemption limit on Capital gain will be available to NRI's or not will depend upon the nature of Capital Gain -

Land shall be treated as Long term Capital Asset if its period of holding exceeds 36 months.

1) Short Term

a) U/s 111A - Sale of Shares on which STT has been paid - NO, Not Available

b) Others - Yes, limit will be available

2) Long term

No, limit will not be avialable.

Mr.Amir

Please through light on the provisions of chapter XIIA of income tax - Special Provisions relating to certain income of non-residents.
