I have bought a house for 27 Lacs in year 2013-2014, I sold it at 1.58cr in year 2022-2023, then I bought a house for 1.12cr in year 2022-2023, let me know if I sell the house at 1.20cr, will this attract capital gain tax?

Ans: Hi Alok
Buying a plot is not considered as reinvestment and eligibility is on buying or constructing a residential house.

In this case if you construct a house on the plot then you could map the capital gains from the sale of the ancestral house against the cost of construction of the house on the plot.

Also, as you have sold the house in March 2023, you would need to open a Capital Gain Accounts Scheme (CGAS) account with any nationalized bank on or before the due date for filing your tax return. The deposit of the capital gain amount in the CGAS account would be treated as reinvestment for the moment.

You need to note that this CGAS account amount has to be utilized for construction within 3 years from the date of sale of the ancestral house.

In case you are not depositing the amount in CGAS account or reinvesting in any eligible assets before filing tax return (of course before due date) then you would need to pay tax on the capital gain portion

Ans: You are entitled to avail exemption for your investment in Residential house property & as per data made available, there should not be any LTCG liability in this case. Kindly ensure that, new property is Registered in your favor with in 2 years from the date of Sale deed of your sold property.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.
