• Capital gain reinvestment into plot and then house construction

Is there a split between amount to be spent on plot purchase and house construction for the capital gain amount from house sale. Are there any rules about how big the house construction to be compared to plot size.
Asked 6 years ago in Capital Gains Tax

No there is no split amount specified. The only requirement is to reinvest the entire capital gain in the construction of residential house property to avail the whole exemption.

No such rule in Income tax.

Quantum of exemption that can be claimed is amount of capital gain or amount invested whichever is lower.
