Tenancy rights does not confer ownership in perpetuity. Actually the section intends purchase of a house either one year before or two years after the sale of the property, the capital gains from which is under consideration for tax or constructs a house within 3 years. Tenancy right would not amount to purchase of a house. Hence exemption under section 54 is not admissible.
