04 April 2008 (1) Yes. Refer Para 71.1.5 of 30th edition of Singhania's Direct Taxes Ready Reckoner


05 April 2008 ANS. TO QUERY 1.
THE USE OF THE ALPHABET "A" IN SEC 54 CREATED SOME CONFUSION .
BUT IT CAN BE SAFELY INTERPRETED THAT CAPITAL GAINS INVESTMENT CAN BE MADE IN MORE THAN ONE RES. PROPERTY

ANS. TO QUERY 2.
THE CAPITAL GAINS ON SALE OF AGR. LAND CAN BE INVESTED IN RES. PROPERTY ALSO. THIS IS STATED IN SUB SEC (1) OF SEC 54F THAT TALKS OF EXEMPTION FROM CAPITAL GAINS ON INVESTING IN A RES. PROPERTY.
IN SEC 54 (F),SUB SEC 1 THE WORDS USED ARE AS FOLLOWS:
- FOR AN INDIVIDUAL OR HUF ,THE CAPITAL GAIN ON TRANSFER OF ANY LONG TERM CAPITAL ASSET -
R.V.RAO
