Sir, My father and myself jointly purchased a land in April, 2015 in my name. At present he needs money and he wants to sell the land in coming may, 2017. I want to know as per the new tax rule (announced in this budget) if any capital gain will generate then will it comes under stcg or ltcg? I have a information that if the gain will comes under stcg and if I invest the gain amount in national highway bond then I can get a exemption. Is this right? I have no income tax file right now because my annual income is 2.47l . For this purpose should I create it? Please guide me.

Hi, Yes, Holding period for Long term capital gainĀ for all immovable properties has been reduced to 2 years from 3 years. So, if you sell the property after April 2017, the gains (if any) are considered as LTCG. Suggest you to go through the below article: How to save Capital Gain taxes on sale of property?
