Assessee has Capital Gain Income Only, & he/she claimimg exemption u/s 54F, after claiming this he has some total income which is below exemption limit. Is this attarcts tax liability at special rate applicable for LTCG @ 20% or it will be exempted?
No such income will not be taxable. It will first adujst upto basic exemption limit and remaining income will be taxable @ 20%.

Provided that where the total income as reduced by such long-term capital gains is below the maximum amount which is not chargeable to income-tax, then, such long-term capital gains shall be reduced by the amount by which the total income as so reduced falls short of the maximum amount which is not chargeable to income-tax and the tax on the balance of such long-term capital gains shall be computed at the rate of twenty per cent
