Taxation on sale of residence and residential plot

I have sold my house which I got built in 2004.
I have also sold my residential plot of land bought in 1997.
How are the sale proceeds taxed? and what may I do to protect myself from paying income tax?
thanks

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the Capital Gains Tax (CGT) implications for selling a house built in 2004 and a residential plot purchased in 1997. Both sales are subject to long-term CGT, with the plot's cost indexed from 2001. The user can potentially claim exemptions under Sections 54 and 54F by purchasing a new residential house within two years of the first sale, even if the new property is bought solely in their name while the previous ones were jointly owned.

Both sells attract LT CG. For plot it will be indexed from 2001.

You can purchase a residential house property within 2 years from the first transfer date, & avail exemption u/s. 54 & sec 54F simultaneously.

I jointly (with my wife) own a house. The properties sold were solely in my name. Can I proceed to buy a residential house in my name, sir?
