25 February 2013 Hi,

U/s 54F, any long term asset (other than a residential house property ) provided on the date of transfer the taxpayer does not own more than one residential house property from the assessment year 2001-02 (except the new house).

Cost plot is not deductible.

Thanks!!

In 3 yrs you have to construct house & you can claim exemption on long term capital.

Till the time capital gain ca be deposited in Bank A/c under capital gain scheme.

Thanks!!
