Quick Summary
Section 54 of the Income Tax Act allows for Capital Gains tax exemption when selling flats in an urban area. You can claim this by investing in land or a building within two years, or constructing a building within three years of the sale date. Crucially, owning other urban properties does not prevent you from claiming this exemption, though simply purchasing land is insufficient unless a residential property is constructed on it within the specified timeframe.

YES.

There is no such restriction u/s. 54 of IT act...

Only Land can be purchased right through sale of flats

Exemption u/s. 54 can be availed only by purchase/construction of a residential house property, within stipulated time period.

Just land purchase, would not be eligible for deduction, unless house property is constructed over it within 3 years.

Ok Sir thanks
