This discussion addresses whether capital gains tax exemption can be claimed when mutual funds sold in FY 2024-25 are reinvested into a property purchased by May 2025, with OC received in July 2025. The consensus is that exemption under Section 54F is possible, provided all other conditions of the section are met, despite the sale agreement dating back to 2019.
One of my client has sold his mutual funds in fy 2024-25 and invested that amount in purchase of property in May 2025. He has received OC of that property in July 2025.
The sale agreement was made in the year 2019 but due to covid the work was started late.
My query is will he get the capital gain exemption on LTCG gain in this scenario. Please help me in this matter.
