Capital gains exemption, Income Tax

[LAKSHMISH IYENGAR]

Sir

My client's father sold a landed property and he wanted to invest the capital gains amount in Rural Bonds and claim exemption.  Before he could do this he died.  My client who is the only successor has to file the return of income as legal representative of his father.  Can my client invest in Capital Gains Exemption bonds and claim exemption u/s 54EC? Please clarify.

Yes. There is no bar. You can still claim exemption by investing in CGE bonds as you are his lega heir. Declare it to IT and claim.
