Dear Hardik
Some information is required for calculation of tax LTCG. 8 months descripttion i.e. it lies in same FY if than which year or two different years. So detail of Period is required. Second is there any other income also. if it is only income than there is exemption.

we required purchases value and date of saled house and date of sold and date of purchases of new house and purchases and sale values then only we have to decide is it long term or short term capital gain and you may get exemption U/S 54
