1. You will have to invest the entire capital gain in another residential house to obtain an exemption u/s 54 of the Income Tax Act. It is assumed that the inherited flat has been in existence for more than 3 years.
2. You will have to invest in construction of new residential house or purchase of new house within 1 year prior to date of sale or 2 years after date of sale. in case you are constructing, then you have upto three years after the date of sale of old house.. in the interim you will have to maintain the capital gains amt. in an account opened for the said purpose with SBI or other nationalised banks.
3. if you invest the amount in commercial property you will be taxed at 20.6% being Long term capital gains on the indexed value of the flat
