LTCG capital gain exemption

I own a residential house property and a small plot of land(vacant) since 1992(long term). if i wish to sell the vacant land and buy second residential house property or a shop. can i get the benefit of exemption under capital gain.

The new residential property/plot would be second property in my name.

I had the understanding that if person continues to hold 1 residential house property, he will not get exemption on second house property.

Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether selling a long-term capital asset (vacant land purchased in 1992) can qualify for capital gains tax exemption. The user is concerned about purchasing a second residential property or a shop, as they already own a residential house. The consensus suggests that exemption under Section 54F is possible even when acquiring a second property, clarifying a common misconception.

Hi Amit

 

as far my experience, you will not be taxed for your LTCG for vriandavan plot . as it was bought in 1992. 

moreover, If you have LTCG taxable than you can buy second house and get the exemption u/s 54.

my concern is do income tax allow exemption on 2nd house property. 

I had and understanding that a condition was there that, if person already holds one house property then exemption is not allowed for second house property.

yes, second house exemption allowed u/s 54 F
