Section 54F is for the purchase of Residential House. Correct Section is 54B to avail exemption from Capital Gains in connection with Agriculture Land. . The word "himself" is applicable for son here. . The exemption can be claimed by the assessee father if the land has been purchased by him. . Here, the agri. land is purchased by the son after the death of his father. . In a strict legal sense the assessee father could not save his life as well as his capital gains tax. .
