I sold a property with 90 Lakhs what should I do with this money with net long term capital gain 30 lakhs to avoid tax, should I put in bond,fd giving tax or buy property in a place with 90 lakhs and get 18k p m as rent

Ans: To save tax, you need to invest at least Capital Gain part of the transaction, in :
(a). Purchase of a Residential Property, with in time limit of one year before or two years after the sale of property generating Capital Gain.
(b). Purchase Capital Gain Bonds, issued by NHAI etc.
(c). You may spend Rs.60 lakhs (Rs.90.00 - 30.00 lakhs), as per your choice.
(d). In your question, last option suggested by you seems to be a good choice, which will ensure increase in your monthly income and also take care of Capital appreciation (provided the property is residential).
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.
