i thank each one of you for the prompt reply, but i still do not see a solution. I guess you all are specialist in this field unlike me who is a doctor see lot of complications but not like these. Once my father gets the money from ancesteral sale of property, can he open a capital gains account in nationalised bank. then within 2 years he can buy a new property in which i can be one of the co-owner. This way he can save capital gains tax, but then does this property in which i am a co-ownner (registered in our names) attract any income tax from my side |

He can claim the exemption upto the amount invested by him. It does not matter if you are the co owner or not. Moreover, you could also plan to buy the property in the name of the HUF as it is money coming out of ansestral property.
As the money legally belongs to the family you can open up an account in the name of the HUF itself. Capital Gains also will be charged in the name of the HUF. You can obtain a PAN, open a Capital Gains account in the name of the HUF and also file the returns claiming the exemption.
On investing the money in the property that you are contemplating you can also hold the property in the name of the family i.e. HUF. Any income from such property will also be charged in the name of the HUF hence you will be quite benefited there as well.
