25 August 2016 Dear Monika,

Section 54F does not provide for exemption on investment in renovation or modification of an existing house.

On the other hand, construction of a house only qualifies for exemption on the investment.
Even addition of a floor of a self contained type to the existing house would have qualified for exemption.

Hope your query is resolved

Kindly like if my response has helped you
