Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the application of Sections 54 and 54F of the Income Tax Act concerning capital gains tax exemption. It addresses whether an individual can claim deductions when selling one of three residential properties and purchasing another. The explanation distinguishes between Section 54 (for selling residential property) and Section 54F (for selling other assets), and touches upon scenarios involving jointly owned properties and the use of home loans for purchasing the new residence.

Yes, LTCG earned by selling a residential house property can be exempted u/s. 54 of IT act, by purchase/construction of another residential HP, as specified under the subsection.

Sec. 54F is applicable when any asset other than residential house property is sold.

I reside in a jointly owned residential house A with my brothers, where I barely have a room to live. All of them have multiple rooms.  3 months back, i sold a jointly owned residential plot B (with my brothers).  Now, i want to buy a flat/ apartment C to reside.  Can I claim capital gain exemption under sec 54 with respect to B & C.  If yes, can i use sale proceeds from B elsewhere & use a home loan instead for C?  Thanks in advance
