Krishna ji,
The assessee can claim both the exemption on single new house, provided the conditions are satisfied.
e.g. Mr. X owns a self-occupied residential house and a plot of land. (he has no other house) he sells the house on 31.01.2007 for 6,50,000/-(purchased on 31.01.2002 for 4,00,000/-) and plot of land on 15.02.2007 for 5,00,000/- (purchased on 30.03.2002 for 2,00,000/-). He purchased a new residential house on 25.04.2007 for 5,00,000/-.
Please refer to the attachment for calculation.
In the above case, first exemption u/s 54 is claimed and fully utilised. Then balance of cost of new house has been claimed against section 54F.**
** It’s been noted that u/s 54F exemption can be claimed as under
[Cost of new house * CG / net consideration]
Sir, Same discussion is going on your another post.
