. For getting "relief", you have to first ascertain the amount of "pain"....i.e. Capital Gain. . Capital Gains can be computed by deducting Indexed cost of Acquisition, in case the house sold was a long term capital asset, from 50.00 lacs. . When the asset sold is Short Term capital Asset, i.e. held for less than 3 yrs, no relief can be expected. . You have to invest only capital gains, and not the whole Rs. 50.00 lacs in the manner, as the expert suggested above. .
