13 September 2014 Hi

My father is 78 years old and has sold his plot owned for about 40 years. He also owns a house.

Could you please let me know the options for saving long term capital gain tax apart from buying or construction of house?

Thanks

13 September 2014 Thanks for the response.

But isn't there a limit of Rs 50 lakhs for the deposit amount? Is there any additional benefit for senior citizens?
