Mr. Sanjay,

The answer is YES.
The reason is : when section permits the assessee..."purchase of new house property one year before or 2 years after".....presupposes the situation as given by you.

Mr Mohit Bansal,
I could not understand why you confused that the query is not proper as the same is self expeditionary i.e. old residential house is sold in June,2013 & purchased new one in April,2013 with the sources of unsecured Loans from relatives which the assesse has paid after june,2013 when she gets sales consideration on sale of old house.
please give your valuable view or opinion as to better tax planning.

Read between the lines might have caused some problem.... The better course of action could be...mentioning House A...House B...etc.. This not only reduces ambiguity but increases clarity..
Your views please.
