My father bought a land 0f of 5000 sft for Rs Rs 3500 in 1959.He constructed a 1500sft house on the land in 1967 for Rs 30000 .
He passed away in 1986.Self and mother became owner.Mother passed away in 2011and Ibecame the owner.
The building and land together was given to a builder in 2015 for construction of flats.As per the agreement I have received 4 flats and construction was completed on 27.11.2021 and handed over to me.
Now I have sold one flat (out of four)for 18 lakhs.
I want to know whether it will be short or long term capital gain ?
I do not want to re invest in property and want to pay appropriate amount of tax .Kindly guide me with procedure.Whether I need to open a separate account in bank and park this money till I pay tax?
Thanks.

Ans: For taxation on redevelopment, there was amendment from 1.4.2018. Before said amendment, when property is transferred to builder for development, capital gain chargeable to tax. I understand that you have not paid any tax in the year in which property is transferred to builder, accordingly, it is advised to take proper consultancy from tax consultant.
