capital gains tax exemption

Viewed 1083

I have two questions:

1 Can I save capital gains tax by investing Rs 50 lakhs in approved bonds and the balance in a new property?

2 Can the new property be jointly financed and owned by me and my son ?

  1. Income tax acts are silent on whether both section 54/54F and 54EC can be used simultaneously. I would advise you to consult a experience tax professional/property lawyer in this case.
  2. New property can be purchased jointly/financed, but your contribution towards cost only will be considered for capital gain deductions.

Thank you, Pankaj, for your immediate and useful reply
