09 November 2013 the transaction shall be shown under capital gains. If he wishes to buy the house (consuming all the capital gains made)before for filing the return for AY 2014-15 , then there are no capital gains tax implication (subject to satisfaction of condition set in Section 54).

However, if he intends to buy the house after the due dates for filing tax returns, he shall have to deposit the capital gains made in a bank account to opened under under capital accounts scheme and reinvest the whole of the deposits in this bank account for purchase of a new house within two years of sale or construct a new house within 3 years of sale of the old house.

In case, the above provisions are not followed, your client will have to pay taxes.
