31 March 2012 Hi,

I recently sold my residential plot, that I had purchased in year 2006. There will be some capital gains, after applying the indexation and computing the difference between the purchase value and the sale value.
I am planning to purchase a farm plot in a project being developed by a Real Estate developer. This plot is current not granted the NA status. Will I be entitled to offset my Long term Capital gains, if I were to invest in this project?
Please provide details around the investment avenues in real estate and the exclusions if any to be kept in mind, so that I can get the tax exemption benefits.
Thanks and Regds
Sanjiv
