Investment in Two Residential Houses

An assessee does not own any residential house property on the date of transfer of a long-term capital asset (other than a residential house). The assessee proposes to purchase two residential house properties out of the capital gains.

In such a case, can the assessee claim exemption under Section 54F in respect of both the houses, or is the exemption restricted to investment in only one residential house?

Further, does the one-time option of investing in two houses (capital gains up to ₹2 crore) apply to Section 54F as well, or is it restricted only to Section 54?

80G deduction eligibility

Dear Sir/Ma'am,
This query is pertaining to AY 2024-25.
I had filed the return u/s139(1) under old regime where I had claimed 100% deduction for donation made to "The National Trust for Welfare of Persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation and Multiple Disabilities constituted under sub-section (1) of section 3 of the National Trust for Welfare of Persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation and Multiple Disabilities Act, 1999". However, few days ago I have received an SMS alert from the income tax department saying that "Our records show that you claimed charitable/relief fund donation deductions in your AY 2024-25 ITR. However, based on the PAN you provided, the organisation you donated to may not be eligible for the deduction you claimed.

You need to update your ITR to either add the correct PAN or remove the deduction. To do this,visit https://www.incometax.gov.in. Once logged in, navigate to “e-File” → “File Income Tax Return → “Select Assessment Year” → “Select Filing Type” → choose “139(8A) - Updated Return” → “ Select ITR Type” → “Continue” and update section 80G/80GGC".
As per the provisions of section 80G, donation to the above entity is eligible for 100% deduction.
Now I am getting a tax payable along with interest u/234A, 234B and 234C to pay the tax on this donation amount.
Can anyone please guide me how to resolve this query.
Also is there any way in which I can verify the PAN of the Donee Entity.

SINCE DEAFAULT REGIME FOR UPDATED ITR IS NEW REGIME AND ASSESSEE WAS UNDER OLD REGIME LAST YEAR SO AT THE TIME OF FILING UPDATED ITR IN NEW REGIME, FORM 10IE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT NUMBER IS REQUIRED AND FORM 10IE CANNOT BE FILED AFTER DUE DATE.

HOW THE ASSESSE WOULD BE ABLE TO FILE UPDATED ITR 3 FOR AY 25-26?

LTCG loss on delisted shares

When a share gets delisted, it effectively means it's value becomes zero but it would not get captured in AIS.

Can this loss be booked AS LTCG LOSS. If yes, how should it be reflected in ITR.

Also, can such shares or any shares which hardly trade, be transferred off market to a family member with last price payment made for it and book loss for it
