Hello. My Uncle sold residential property and out of proceeds he had made advance for purchase of another property, but due to his sudden death the transaction could not be made. The person who took advance is also absconding.
what would be the tax liability on his son, can he claim any deduction
please advise

yes, the exemption is property based...if the property is purchased/constructed within the stipulated time from the date of transfer, the exemption can be claimed by the legal heir
