Capital gains

I sold my apartment in December 2017. It had been purchased nine years earlier with my own savings( it was not inherited). 1] To avoid paying capital gains should the money be reinvested with two years or three years from date of sale? 2] In case no property is purchased with the sale proceeds at what rate will capital gains tax be charged?

Please contact a good Chartered Accountant with full details and documents.

If you are not immediately buying a new property the money should deposited in capital account available with banks until you purchase the new property. Further if you do not purchase another house or invest in a new house within the period limit, your capital gains will be taxed in the year in which the period expires.

If you had not deposited the amount in Capital Account before 31-07-2018, you will not get capital gains exemption.
