Capital Gains - Exemption u/s 54F


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion explores claiming capital gains tax exemption under Section 54F when selling land. It questions whether exemption is possible if an individual is simultaneously constructing one house in their sole name and another jointly with their spouse. The key consideration is whether joint construction counts as owning 'more than one house' and thus disqualifies the exemption, especially concerning the timing of sale versus construction.

17 June 2020 If a person is constructing one house property in his own name and one house property jointly with his spouse simultaneously , can he claim exemption u/s 54F for capital gains arising on sale of land?

Whether exemption u/s 54F is allowed for the property which is constructed in his own name?

Regards.

17 June 2020 54F will be allowed provided
* he should not own more than one house on the date of transfer of land and
* the sale should precede the construction of the new house.

17 June 2020 Sir,
The Proviso to Sec 54F states,

Provided that nothing contained in this sub-section shall apply where—

(a) the assessee,—

(i) owns more than one residential house, other than the new asset, on the date of transfer of the original asset; or

(ii) purchases any residential house, other than the new asset, within a period of one year after the date of transfer of the original asset; or

(iii) constructs any residential house, other than the new asset, within a period of three years after the date of transfer of the original asset.

Will the Joint construction of house property with spouse amount to construction of a house property other than new asset impacting (iii) above?
