If you've claimed capital gains tax exemption under Section 54 after selling a property and buying a new one, be aware of the rules. You generally cannot sell the new property within three years of its purchase date. Doing so could lead to the disallowance of the exemption you initially claimed. The purchase date is key to calculating this three-year window.
