Is 54F exemption applies if New House constructed on old plot


This query is : Resolved 

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether an assessee can claim an exemption under Section 54F of the Income Tax Act when they sell land, realise long-term capital gains (LTCG), and reinvest this in constructing a new residential house on an existing, vacant plot. The consensus is that the exemption is indeed available even if the new house is built on an old plot, provided it's a new construction on a vacant piece of land.
