If an individual sells away vacant site invests in purchase of house-property to avail of exemption u/s 54F and gifts away the house property within 3 years to one of his relations, will the exemption be denied in view of the amendment in Finace Act,2012 (insertion of explanation 2 to section 2(47) read with sec.47(iii)?

on a cursory look, 54F should be available. I dont't think explanation 2(47) applies here. It was inserted to cover offshore deals. Gift is specifically covered under 47(iii).
