This discussion explores the applicability of Section 54F exemption when capital gains are received in the form of flats, rather than cash. The query specifically asks if the Stamp Duty Value (SDV) of these flats can be used for the exemption, as per Section 45(5A) which charges capital gains based on the SDV when a plot is exchanged for flats. The consensus is that Section 54F exemption can indeed be claimed for one of the flats.
