A house which was purchased in the FY 1991-92 was sold in the FY 2010-11.    The property was sold in May 2011 and two apartments were purchased in the same month.  I am an individual tax payer.

1. What is the last date for filing Tax Return ?

2. Is it in order to purchase two residetial properties by selling one property to save Capital Gains Tax? What are the implications in terms of  Long term Capital Gains  tax provisions.
