03 October 2013 But sir The existing House property Exist from old time and now we want to construct new floor on this building it`s not a new building

01 August 2024 Under Section 54 of the Income Tax Act, the capital gain exemption can be claimed if the proceeds from the sale of a house property are invested in a new house property.

Since you already have two existing properties, you can still claim the exemption if you invest the capital gains in constructing a new floor on an existing property. However, the construction should be substantial and result in a significant enhancement of the property’s value.

To ensure compliance:
- The new floor should be constructed within three years of the sale of the original property.
- The construction must be considered a substantial addition to the existing property, not merely routine repairs or renovations.

Make sure to keep detailed records of the construction costs and consult a tax advisor to confirm eligibility.
