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.

Money

Sir I given land for developement I got this from my grandfather. I got 70 lakhs capital gain how to save tax in investment

Ans: To save tax, you can acquire house property and get exemption u/s 54F. As per section 54F, if you want to buy a residential house property from long term capital gain from sale of shares then you must buy the residential house property 1 year before or 2 years from date of such transfer of shares or construct the house property within 3 years from date of transfer of such shares. If amount can not be utilised before filing return then amount should be kept in CGAS.

To get the benefit of Sec 54F, person should not own more than one house property on the date of transfer of asset and not on the date of acquiring new residential property.

Money

I am getting 5+ cr after selling the property. 50L + 50L will be deposited in bonds. I don't want to invest in residential property. I am considering paying approximately 85L capital gain tax and reinvesting the rest of the money. What are my options and what should be my realistic expectation for returns and recovery of capital gain tax? This money is surplus money, I have my finances managed by other deposits etc

Ans: Now there is only one 50 lakhs. The loop hole of two financial years have been plugged in. So be mindful of that. If you do not want to reinvest in residential property then there are no other choices.
