I sold my flat in Dec'2010 which I bought in 1988.My LTCG is Rs.1.83 Cr after deducting indexation cost.Against this net gain,I will be buying a flat worth 70-80 lakh.
Now my query is, can I put 50 L in Govt. Bonds such as REC or NHAI in this financial year i.e before March'2011 and put another 50 L in April ;2011? thus claiming rebate of Rs. 1 Cr.As per I.T Act,maximum amount can be invested is Rs. 50 L per FINANCIAL YEAR.Even my CA is not sure of the answer.I am getting mixed response from others.
