Hi ,

your case falls under section 54F,

if your mother sells a land and contribute part of the sale proceeds in purchase of the house, she will get the capital gain exemption proportionately.

to get the full benefit, she can deposit remaining capital gain amount in 54EC - REC or NHAI bonds.

below is the summary of section 54F-

The Exemption under Section 54F

The exemption can be for the full amount of capital gains.

The capital gain amount can be invested in the capital gains account till it is utilized for purchase or construction of a house. The deposit in capital gain account should be before filing income tax return.

Conditions of Section 54F

The exemption is allowed only if the new property is a residential house.

The exemption is allowed, If you did not have more than 1 residential property before the new house.

The purchase of new residential house should be within one year before or 2 years after.

The construction of residential house should be completed within 3 years.

The residential house should be in India.

The assessee should sell or transfer the new house within three years of its purchase or construction. If it happens, the capital gains exemption would be withdrawn similar to the section 54.

Calculation of Exemption Under Section 54F

The total capital gain would be exempted if 100% sale proceeds is invested in the residential property.

If full capital gains is not invested, exemption shall be allowed proportionately. The exempted amount would be calculated according to the following formula.

i believe all your questions are answered.

Capital Gain X Amount Invested

Net Sale Consideration

The exemption can’t be more than the capital gain.

hope your query is answered . For more info mail at modani005@gmail.com

The buyer of the Property has to deduct TDS at 1% if the Total Sale Consideration exceeds Rs. 50 Lakhs.

So, when your mother is selling the Property, the buyer has to make TDS.

When you buy the new Property, both you and your Mother have to deduct TDS on respective share of Property.

This is your Income which was deducted by the bank as per income tax rules.

so you required to file the ITR and if there is any refund then Income tax department will pay the amount.

no

buyer is liable to deduct TDS @ 1% if the property sold is valued more than 50 Lakh rs.

she can claim that amount while filing the IT return in the financial year in which the amount is deducted, otherwise is also she should file the return in the year in which the property is sold.
