Asked 5 years ago in Capital Gains Tax

Yes, you can claim exemption under 54G.

This section provides exemption on transfer of asset in the case of shifting of industrial undertaking from the urban area to non-urban area.

A capital asset being plant, machinery, land or building or any right in land or building used for the purpose of an industrial undertaking situated in an urban area is transferred.

As per section 54G one can claim exemption on capital gain earned by selling of an industrial undertaking in urban area and investing the money in new industrial undertaking within 3 years after date of such transfer and such money is invested in buying land or building or "new" plant and machinery.

In above section urban area means such area which doesn't come under the municipal corporation or municipality. Thus it doesn't matter whether the place is 40 km away or 10 km away you will have to check whether it comes under the limit of municipal corporation or municipality, if it doesn't come under such limit you can shift there and claim exemption.

Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.

Thank you

Yes, you can claim the exemption u/s 54G if you are reinvesting within 3 years from the date of sale.

However, please note that you need to check whether the new place comes under the limit of municipal corporation or municipality or not? Because any place which comes under municipal area is a urban area.
