capitalgain on sale of 2 houses

In order to get any exception u/s 54 the new residential house property should be purchased within one year before, pr within 2 years from the date of transfer. So capital gain from 1st house is not exempt, as 2nd house is purchased in 2006 which is not one year before the date of transfer which is 2010.

      Moreover, it is clear from the explanations to section 54 that if the amount of capital gain is not utilised for purchasing/construction of new residential property within the due to date for filing return of income the same shall be deposited in "CAPITAL GAIN DEPOSIT ACCOUNT SCHEME".

         So it clear for the present case that he has not utilised the capital gain amount for purcahse of new house, instead he has taken loan for it. so he wont get any excemption for the capital gain.
