20 February 2014 there have been cases where multiples houses bought within same building/housing society compound has been allowed for exemption under Section 54. However, it is possible that such allowance may not be made where houses are far off from each other.

21 February 2014 there is no absolute parameter set on this. however, where investments made in different part of a city or town, exemption has been allowed only against one house.
