20 November 2013 Dear Sandeep,

First of all, its a very tax inefficient model that you have implemented. Rather, I fail to see any logic of doing this.

1. Assuming you do the exchange @ 30 lakhs, your LTCG should be Rs 15.50 lakhs. However, to claim exemption under 54F, you need to reinvest the whole of the consideration ie Rs 30 lakhs!!!!

2. Your wife shall not be eligible to claim exemption under 54F as she already has a house in her name.

20 November 2013 R SIR
THANK ES FOR YOUR VALUABLE ADVISE
1)I HAVE TO CLEAR THAT U/S 54F A ASSESSEE CAN HAVE NOT MORE THAN ONE HOUSE AS ON DATE OF TRANSFER OF ORIGINAL ASSET.
2)IF I EXCHANGE @70 LAKH(MARKET RATE)ANY COMPLICATION MAY ARRIVE PLEASE GUIDE/ADVICE

20 November 2013 1. yes 54F is not available if you already have one house.

2. to claim exemption under 54F you need to invest the whole of the consideration. So if you exchange at 70 lakhs, you shall have utilize 70 for house construction.

20 November 2013 R SIR
V.V.THANKS
KINDLY GUIDE THE INVESTMENT IN NEW HOUSE IS INCLUDING OF LAND OR NOT FOR CLAIMING 54F
SANDEEP

20 November 2013 it will include land if you wish to build house on it within three years (so that is the window for you to claim 54F). But if no house is built, you wont be able to claim 54F.
