26 December 2010 For a favourable decision of the Income Tax Tribunal pl refer the case of Ms. Prema P Shah (Citation 282 ITR 211) which says that the exemption offered by Section 54 can indeed be extended to a property purchased in a foreign country.
However a diametrically opposite view can be seen in the case of Ms. Leena J Shah vs Assistant Commissioner of Income-Tax, (2006) 6 SOT 721 (Ahd- Tri), where in it was held that the exemption is not available for purchase of property located abroad.
