Dear Experts,
I have a commercial office space, which i got as a result of a development agreement with a builder in my plot more than three years ago. The builder is finishing the building and the handover is not yet done. I also own a house that I live in currently.
Now I want to sell the commercial property which in my calculation attracts 1 crore of longterm capital gains (indexation taken into consideration).
What are my options to avoid paying the capital gains by reinvesting them in bonds and another properties? For example can I invest 50 lacs in bonds and remaining 50 lakhs in a proeprty. Or 1 crore should be invested ina property, and if yes what kind of property...can i invest in commercial property again? Please tell me the possible scenarios of avoiding the capital gain tax, as I am not able to get proper advice from anybody.
Thanks
Shashi
