In sec. 54 exemption is available for purchase of HP before one year of transfer or two year after transfer.
Eg. On 1/9/13 I purchased a house and then I sold my old house on 2/8/2014. Exemption is available to me u/s 54.(i.e. purchase a house within one year before the date of transfer)
Question: 1) When I already purchased the house before the sale of old house then why exemption is available, even if i have the money as it is, I don't use the amount from sale proceeding. What is the logic?
