Tax on sale of land

Sir,

     I have no proper house. I want to build a new house in a vacant land by selling another land in town limit. It is likely to fetch Rs.14 lakh. Is it taxable. If so can I avoid paying tax by putting some amount in bank fixed deposit. How much will I have to put in bank fixed deposit to avoid paying income tax. Please help.



Quick Summary
This discussion addresses whether selling land to fund the construction of a new house incurs taxable capital gains. It explains that exemptions can be claimed under Section 54F of the Income Tax Act when reinvesting proceeds into residential property. Alternative methods like investing in Capital Gains Bonds (Section 54EC) or the Capital Gains Accounts Scheme are also mentioned as ways to reduce or avoid tax liability.

If you sell a plot of land to construct a house, exemption can be claimed under Section 54F and the capital gains will get exempted from the levy of tax
