15 June 2014 We sold our ancestral inherited property 4 months back. The share was divided amongst three of us ,my elder brothers in law and me (my husband died 6 years ago).We are put up in different cities and are not in talking terms. The problem is that I will be investing my long term capital gain in capital gain account but what if they don’t do so. Although in the sale agreement pan nos. and names of all three of us are written and it is also mentioned that the amount is divided in three of us with the details of D.D. Nos. given to us at the time of selling.
Neither I have the old sale agreement (When the house was built or bought) nor the new one(when it is sold), so I don’t know how to calculate the LTCG also. Please help me as soon as possible.
