Chahe 1 bech k 2 ya jyada kharido ya 4 bech k 1 kharido doesn't matter. Even no need to buy/construct new house at ur own name and you can also construct new house on the floor of existing house subject to it should be a house and not a single room/hall.
In recent case laws court hs accepted that exemption can b taken by investing in more thn 1 house
You won't be getting exemptions for more than 2 houses at the time of purchase of new house (2 houses including the new house).
Mr. Pratik here we r talking about sec.54 and not 54F.
Here longterm house property is selling to buy another h/p.
