11 March 2014 Thanks Dintakurthi for your advice. However, there are contradictory views given by different authors. For eg: please visit this link http://www.taxbingo.com/capital_gains.html... it says Option 2 is available for house property. Can you please advice which option shoould I then prefer (Option 2 is more beneficial for me)
