Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies capital gains tax rules when selling a property. It addresses whether you need to reinvest the entire sale proceeds or just the calculated capital gain amount to qualify for tax deductions under Section 54F. The consensus suggests that investing the capital gain amount itself is sufficient for tax relief, not necessarily the full sale price.

Full sale proceeds must be invested in purchase/construction of house property to get deduction u/s 54F within the stipulated time.

One of our client had not mentioned sale value of 55 lac in his IT return a.y. 2015-16. and after calculation net capital gain is 20 lac . So query is that he is liable to pay tax on 20 Lac or he has to allow do deduction of against property purchased in a.y. 2016.17?

Investment/construction in house property is eligible for deduction u/s 54F if made on  or before return filling date of relevant previous year

In case of sale of house property and purchase of house property out of sale proceeds it is enough to invest capital gains amount I. e. 15 lakhs in your case and not necessary to invest entire net sale consideration
I think it should be dealt with section 54 not 54F
