The advice suggests that selling a residential site qualifies for exemption under Section 54F of the Income Tax Act, provided the entire sale proceeds are reinvested in another property. It's important to note that a new house must be constructed on the new site within three years of the sale to successfully claim this deduction.

As per above mentioned details, you can claimed exemption u/s 54.

Welcome ji..sunil kumar ji
To claim deduction under 54F, the entire sale consideration should be invested in house property. since purchase of house site is also part of investment in house property, it's eligible for claim deduction under section 54f however make sure that you construct a house property in the new house site within 3 years from the date of sale of old house site
@ Mr Rama krishan

To claim exemption u/s 54F, transfer property should be other than residential house property
In above case, the assessee is transfer residential site.
@ mr. yudhishthir, residential site means land property .so on sale of residential site only 54f deduction can be claimed and not 54
