Dear Dhaval,
The answer to your question is, Yes. The assessee can avoid paying LTCG on both the sale transaction by investing the proceeds in a residential house.
However, the exemption shall be available under different sections:
For the residential house, the exemption shall be available under Section 54(1) and for the exemption for property used for business shall be available under 54F.
The point of difference between computation of exemption between these two section is as under:
In section 54(1), only the capital gains need to be reinvested in the residential house. However, in 54F, the exemption shall be provided on the basis of total sale proceeds.
