29 May 2026 Dear Sir / Madam

Under Section 54F of the Income Tax Act, 1961, an assessee can claim exemption on long-term capital gains arising from the sale of assets other than a residential property. To avail this exemption, the assessee must invest the entire sale proceeds in a new residential house property, not just the capital gain.

In the present case, there is a long-term capital gain of ₹2.5 lakhs from the sale of long-term shares, with a total sale consideration of ₹10 lakhs. The assessee plans to purchase a new residential house property in FY 2026–27 for ₹1.5 crore, with possession expected to take at least three years.

Accordingly, he will deposit the sale consideration into the Capital Gains Scheme (CGS) account for later utilization.

My question is: Can the assessee avail long-term capital gain exemption on the sale of long-term shares in subsequent years as well, if he has LTCG in Year 2 and Year 3?

Regards,
Suraj
