LTCG ON RESIDENTIAL FLATS

Hello Members 

My query is on LTCG on sale of flats

1. Wife has 2 flats which was used as self occupied but let out one flat about one year ago 

2. Husband has another flat in another state used as self occupied for 20 years now let out about 2 years ago 

The query is 

Can the the sales proceeds of the above 3 be reinvested in the joint names of husband & wife in another property  to avail relief of tax on LTCG

Quick Summary
This discussion explores the tax implications of Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG) on the sale of residential flats. The core question is whether sale proceeds from three flats, previously self-occupied and now let out, can be reinvested in a new property under joint names to claim tax relief. The advice suggests that each individual's capital gain must be invested separately in their own name to qualify for relief under Section 54.

According to me
capital gain of each, is to be invested separately
in separate name.
Just keep share of the new flat according to value of old house in their name
Both will have to invest long term capital gain under 54 to take benefit of 54. So they have to take care of this.
