1. As per the Indian Income Tax Act, a long-term capital gain on the sale of a residential house property can be exempted if the proceeds are utilized to purchase or construct another residential property. However, in the given scenario, your client intends to purchase a new commercial property, and therefore, he would not be able to claim exemption under Section 54 of the Income Tax Act.
2. The capital gain amount can only be adjusted against the cost of acquiring the new residential property Within a period of one year before or two years after the date of transfer of old house, which your client has not purchased in this scenario.

For the second point, if the property P was purchased 7 months back from the sale of another residential property X in February 2023, will he get the exemption incase of loan repayment in such case.

The LTCG being used to repay the home loan is considered to be fulfilling the criteria set under Section 54 and thus you are permitted to claim an exemption on the entire LTCG amount.
