Claim of exemption u/s 54f

This query is : Resolved 

08 December 2011 Can an assessee claim exemption u/s54F for a land purchased for construction of a residential house property 1 year before, the actual sale of a capital asset on which LTCG arises, and constructed a residential house property on that land purchased within 3 years from the date of actual sale of a capital asset on which LTCG arises.

Kindly advice me on this issue and also state the relevant case law if any.




08 December 2011 Hi,

Yes you can claim, provided the Land in the first case should be a non agricultural Land i.e, it should be a urban land and further it should be a Long term capital Asset.

Section 54 F is clear about it and therefore taking shelter of any case law if any does not arise.

Thanks
