Investment in Two Residential Houses
This query is : Resolved
13 January 2026
An assessee does not own any residential house property on the date of transfer of a long-term capital asset (other than a residential house). The assessee proposes to purchase two residential house properties out of the capital gains.
In such a case, can the assessee claim exemption under Section 54F in respect of both the houses, or is the exemption restricted to investment in only one residential house?
Further, does the one-time option of investing in two houses (capital gains up to ₹2 crore) apply to Section 54F as well, or is it restricted only to Section 54?

Even though the provision is applicable only to sec. 54 IT act; but any adjacent flats/HP are considered as a single residential HP for the sec. 54/54F IT act.
