09 May 2017 One of our clients sold shares of his private company and is investing the amount for construction of residential house property. He already has ONE house in the city in his name.
Will he get claim u/s 54F and if yes, will he also get it for the amount invested in land or only construction cost.

09 May 2017 since your client has one house, s/he can claim exemption u/s 54F.
Cost of land + cost of construction qualifies for exemption
