06 May 2017 scenario: I incurred LTCG in fy14-15 and took exemption by purchasing a flat on 25.3.15. This is my first house. I incurred again LTCG after selling a plot in fy16-17. Can I claim 54f again by purchasing another plot with full consideration and build a house after 2 years

07 May 2017 just want to make sure I am not violating clause iii by investing entire sales amount on a plot, claim 54f again within 3 years, but time the construction later so that it's after 3 yrs from first 54f and within 3 years of 2nd 54f

07 May 2017 if you invest entire sale proceeds in a plot, that is quite tenable at law because there is no any exemption u/s 54F for plot as new asset. You will be entitled to exemption only when you construct the residential house within a period of 3 years. (In your case since you bought a house on 25/03/2015.......you have to construct after 25/03/2018 but before 3 years from the date of transfer of the asset (i.e. the one sold in FY 2016-17)
