please experts advice me in regarding following doubt.
if mr. x sold one plot at rs. 300000 and that was purchased at rs. 100000 and sold another plot of rs. 3500000 and that was purchased at rs. 1600000 and wants to buy another flat of rs. 5000000, so my question if whether he can get benefit of deduction against both sold plot or benefit can be avail to only single plot sold.
plz experts advice me regarding this.
Assessee can claim benefit of exemption from Long Term Capital Gain U/s 54F on both the plots. There is no restriction that assessee can claim benefits of exemption only against one LTCA.
The assets being transferred should be long term capital asset to claim the exemption.The second residential house means, at the date of transfer the assessee should not hold more than one residential house exclusive of the new one which is being purchased(u/s 54F).
