I had a House Property which was sold, incurring a Capital Gain of Rs.6.95 crores which I reinvested in a residential house property claiming an exemption u/s 54F. My new residential house property has not completed 3 years and I wish to sell the new residential house.
I know as per Sec 54F,if I sell a residential house property capital gain which was earlier exempted will know be liable for tax.

There may be a confusion regarding the exemption section. It should be Section 54. . If you sell the new house prior to completion of 3 years since you have purchased it, you have to reduce, the Cost of Acquisition of this House by the exempt amount of capital gain. . You may get advance from the buyer -for the time being and execute the sale documents after completion of 3 years if you are in dire need of funds. .
