27 February 2013 Hi,

Section 54 lays emphasis on the use of the property mainly for the purpose of assessee or his parents’ own residence. If an assessee has retained more than one house for the purpose of his own or the parents’own residence, and has used them for such residence, and not for any other purpose, the capital gains arising on transfer of each of such house would qualify for exemption under section 54, provided the other conditions spelt out therein are fulfilled.

Letter : No. 207/24/76-IT(A-II), dated 25-3-1977.

So, you can purchase part share from your brother even if you have existing property & claim exemption u/s 54.

Thanks!!
