Capital gain exemption for repayment of housing loan

Ok....so whether entire sale consideration received from sale of plot be utilised for repayment of housing loan and such utilisation be eligible for deduction under section 54F?????

Under 54F possible, if you do not own more than one residential house on the date of realisation of capital gains. That is sale proceeds of plot money.

Section 54F permits one residential house on the date of transfer of long term capital assets. Isn't it??

Avail under section 54F. Meet other conditions.

It seems 54F is also not eligible. Provision says he has to construct one residential house within 3 years or purchase 1 year before or 2 year after the date of transfer out of the proceeds of LTCA and such investment should be done before due date of return 139(1) otherwise he has to deposit the such amount in the account under CGAS with in due date of ROI.

Assessee should not own more than one residential house on the date of transfer.
