Nr claiming deduction u/s 54 - construction of house on land owned by mother.

This query is : Resolved 

08 March 2014 Dear sir,
Please provide me a clarification on Exemption u/s 54 - Assessee is an NR and has sold a flat (LTCA) and has constructing a house on land owned in his mother's name - is he eligible for deduction u/s 54. If not, can he enter into an agreement with his mother so as to obtain partial ownership and claim exemption u/s 54. Is there any other thing which could be done.
Thank you.

08 March 2014 1. yes, you can claim exemption under section 54.

2. yes the mechanism should to be buy a part of land from your mother...your mother can then reinvest the consideration received against partial construction cost to claim section 54 exemption herself too!

09 March 2014 Thank you for the clarifications.

09 March 2014 you are welcome Nawaz.
