one of my friend as sold a site during the year and he has to claim the capital gain tax exemption under income tax. Whether he has to invest the whole amount in the specified scheme deposit or he has to invest the taxable portion of capital gain only. And also his income is below the taxable limit i.e.,rs.24000 per annum.
