I am planning to sell a residential plot (empty) and use the proceeds to construct a house (I currently own a flat). I understand I have 3 years time from the sale date, to complete construction of the new house.
My questions are:
1. Can I first use a part of the amount to buy another plot and then start construction of the house on it, after a year.
2. I am planning to deposit the entire sale consideration in a capital gains savings account and withdraw amounts as needed. is this the correct approach? or should I calculate the LTCG and deposit only that portion into the capital gains account?
Thanks, and I apologise if this was already answered elsewhere.
