Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether an individual can claim tax exemptions under both Section 54 and Section 54F of the Income Tax Act when selling both a residential house and land within the same financial year. The consensus is that exemptions can be claimed under respective sections for each sale, provided the investment in a new residential property meets the criteria for both. However, investing in only one new property might violate the conditions for Section 54F.

Claim Exemption under section 54 in case of sale of Residential House 

Exemption u/s 54 is available in case you sell residential property and Buy residential property.
For claiming exemption you must check you don't own more then one House property.
Exemption is available of a house you bought 3 years back or constructed 2 years after selling the property.
My question was that if residential house is sold we can claim exemption under sec54 by purchasing residential house and if land is sold we can claim exemption under sec 54 f by purchasing residential house now the scenario is that if both residential house and land is sold can we claim exemption for both together under sec 54 and 54 F by purchasing/constructing one residential house only.

There is no such provision ristricting you from claiming exemption under both sections at same time (even for different properties).
Therefore you can claim exemption under Respective sections.

There's no restrictions to claim 54 and 54f unless you invest in single house property. if you invest in two house properties section 54f will be violated
