I am planning to sell my land & building in Chennai for the purpose of higher education of my son. Please advise me of the possible deductions/taxes I need to suffer out of the Sale consideration. The guideline value of the property is much higher than the amount required for the education; understandably the amount utilised for education will suffer tax. Please also advise me the steps to legally avoid/reduce the CG. Thank you for your kind reply.

You have to bear the capital gain tax. sale consideration less indexed purchase price. if asset is long term. you are investing money in education of your son. but if you invest it in residential house or bonds. you can get deduction u/s 54f or 54ec.
