28 May 2012 I have sold out a Residentiol property on 20.03.2012 and have earned Capital gain. And I had purchased a Plot two months ago the sale. Now i want to construct a new House Property on this Plot with the amount of Capital Gain of sale of old house. I was having one more residentiol house at the time of seeling of the old house.
Can i claim Exemption for Capital gain u/s 54..?

29 May 2012 Section 54 does not contain a condition that the assessee should not own more than one residential house. Accordingly, you can avail exemption u/s 54.

29 May 2012 You can COMMENCE the construction BEFORE selling the new house but the construction must be COMPLETED AFTER the sale.
