Regarding exemption u/s 54F

383 views 5 replies

An assessee individual sold a property and invested the sales proceeds in a flat, but since he was intending to gift that new flat to his son he directly purchased the new flat in the name of son. Whole of the purchase amount was paid by the assessee, the father. Is the assessee eligible to claim exemption u/s 54F?
