DEAR EXPERTS,
I HAVE GOT POSSESSION OF FLAT (COST 20 LACS) IN FY 2009-10 WHICH WAS BOOKED IN FY 2006-07 AND PAYMENTS WAS MADE AS PER THE WORK PROGRESS OF THE BUILDING ACCORDING TO AGREEMENT.BANK LOAN IS ALSO AVAILED .
I have sold 12 YRs OLD FLAT(COST 7 LACS) AT ABOUT Rs. 18 LACS in Sep-10.
As per my belief No Capital Tax will be attracted as the date of possession of new flat is within a year from selling of old flat.
Kindly confirm and also quote case laws.
THANKS & REGARDS

Yes, as per sec. 54, you purchased a new residential flat prior to 1 year. Therefore, the profit of your flat will be deducted from the new investment.
