Hi Raghavan, 1)Well, since u hv invested the whole of the cap gain in the new site well before the due period prescribed in law, there is no capital gain taxation for u. 2)By God's grace u have sold only the AGRICULTURAL land :P B'coz by statute there is no capital gains on sale of agricultural land. HAd there been a land in urban area then it wud have been difficult to avoid tax. In your case, no capital gains taxation.
