Only one property bought shall be allowed for exemption from earned capital gain

Capital gain will be calculated ----- Sales consideration less Indexed value of cost of a acquisition .

If entire capital gain is Invested into purchase of two properties (w.e.f. AY 2020-2021) then full Deduction under section 54.

Sec 80EEA INTRODUCED FOR 2ND HOUSE W.E.F. JULY 2019 AND SEC 54 EXEMPTION WAS AVAILABLE FOR LAST 25 YEARS.

CALCULATE INDEXED COST OF ACCQUISITION AND DEDUCT FROM SALE CONSIDERATION.
THATS CAPITAL GAIN.
AVAIL EXEMPTION WITHIN A PERIOD 2 YEARS OR COMPLETED CONSTRUCTION OF HOUSE PROPERTY WITHIN A PERIOD OF 3 YEARS.
SEC 54 F.

Whether deduction is available for both properties? Is this change made in budget 2019? Till last year only deduction for 1 year was allowed.

1. As per the new proviso to sec 54 if the sale consideration is invested new residential house property then exemption can be availed for investment in 2 residential house property.
2. If the LTCG is less than Rs. 24 lakhs ( it will be, as the cost will be minimum of more than Rs. 1 lakh) then there will not be any Capital gain tax chargeable.
3. But the Income-tax website says that this proviso will be applicable only from 01.04.2020. As this was introduced in budget 2019 it should be applicable from 01.04.2019 and not from 01.04.2020.
4. In your case, if the selling and buying of property happen in the FY 2019-20 then, exemption u/s 54 should be applicable for both the residential house property. Resulting in no capital gains.
Please correct me if the above solution has an alternative view.
