I have owned a flat for about 15 years (Property A). Next month I plan to buy a new house (Property B) and six months later, i plan to sell Property A. Given that I am buying Property B before selling Porperty A, can I still claim the long-term capital gains tax rebate? Thanks

The new property should be purchased one year before or two years after the date on which the transfer took place purchased. Accordingly, you can claim exemption from capital gain u/s 54.
