Dear Sir, The amount of exemption under section 54 of the Income tax Act, 1961 will be lower of the following amount --- 1. The Amount of Capital Gain arising on transfer of the residential property or 2. The Amount Invested in purchasing new residential property. therefore, in any case exemption under section 54 can not exceed the amount of capital gain.
