EXEMPTION U/S 54 is available onle when investment is made in RESIDENTIAL HOUSE .

Sorry, for site (residential or not ) exemption under section 54 can't be claimed.

Section 54 can't be claimed unless investment is made in one residential house in India. 

If you construct a residential house in the 'site', you can claim the benefit of Section 54 for such construction.

What do u mean by residential site? if its something related to a residential house, u can take exemption under section 54

Construct a shed and make deeds for house and take exemption.
Construct a shed and make deeds for house and take exemption.
as per section 54 of the income tax act 1956 deduction allowed only when investment made in residential house by indv and huf..
Slightly altering d query, if i purchase an independent house can i claim full purchase cost for exempn or only value of building.....coz i hv heard if u r purchasing a already constructed house in sale deed they give breakup as to what amt is towards land and building sepatately...
