Capital gains exemption on industrial relocation: reinvestment in new assets prevents taxation, subject to deposit and proof rules.

A reinvestment linked exemption for capital gains applies where assets used in an industrial undertaking situated in a urban area are transferred as part of shifting the undertaking outside urban limits. The assessee must, within one year before or three years after transfer, acquire specified new assets or incur notified scheme expenses; reinvestment equal to or exceeding the gain prevents charging of the gain, shortfalls are charged as income, and unutilised proceeds must be deposited under a notified scheme with proof filed by the return due date.
