Date of acquisition determines capital gains period; rural agricultural land sale may attract short term capital gains exemption.
Date of acquisition for assets following a demerger is the purchase date of the demerged company, and the holding period for classifying transfers as short term or long term capital gains is calculated from that date. If the land qualifies as rural agricultural land, short term capital gains are noted as exempt; no operative details on tax authority enforcement or auction are provided. (AI Summary)
