as per Section 54 an exemption can be claimed of the LTCG arriving on sale of a residential house property.
to claim the exemption a house property shall be purchased one yr before or within 2 yrs after the transfer of original HP. Amt of exemption will be:
i)if LTCG is less then or equal to the Cost of new HP-Entire LTCG will be exempt
ii)if LTCG is higher than cost of new HP-difference between LTCG & cost of new house will be chargeable to tax as LTCG
NEw hp should not be transferred within a period of 3yrs frm the date of purchase.
