Sir: I had purchased a shop in the year 2009 for a sum of Rs.400000+Rs27500(stamp duty)+Rs.80000(agent Com)+Rs.150000(Shop color & maintenance)= Total Rs.657500/-. Now I am on the verge of selling the shop property for Rs.3500000/-. What shall be my LTCG? I don't have any home, Can I invest the proceeds in my 1st home?, What part should I invest so that my capital tax be nil? What is the time frame with in which I need to buy my new home? If I am unable to find a new home in your stipulated time what should I do next?

I shall be obliged if I get my reply asap.

Under which head you have been admitting the income from commercial property?
if it's under pgbp and you have availed depreciation on commercial property then the sale of commercial property will be dealt in accordance with the provisions of section 50 and under section 45.
if you have admitted under the head income from house property then the entire net sale consideration needs to be invested in house property within 2 years (purchase) or within 3 years (construction)
