Upto 36 months he will get the tax exemption. Any property sold it amounts to capital gain. To avoid the tax seller has to invest in the capital gain schemes or to purchased the immoveable property within 3 years.

Your query is incomplete regarding the purchase price and year of purchase and the sale consideration to be received, further your query is silent on the amount to be invested in the new home. If the sale is a LTCG then you will be taxed @ 20.6% of the net consideration subject to certain conditions.

I agree with Mr.Vishal.

The query is vague and incomplete. The querist has not stated as what kind of property his father wants to sell - whether moveable or immoveable. However, if his father buys a flat, then LTCG on any asset - whether moveable or immoveable would be exempt if the entire capital gain is invested in the purchase of new property.
