1. Sec 54F comes into place only when there is a sale of a capital asset other than residential house and subsequently purchase of a residential house, then the same will be allowed as exemption u/s 54F.
2. However, the exemption u/s 54F will be in proportion to the sale consideration and investments made. (SC/Invest)
3. In your case it is a sale of a vacant plot which is not a residential house and subsequently purchased a residential house, thus it will qualify for exemption u/s 54F.
4. Make sure the purchase was made within a period of 2 years from the date of sale.
Please correct me if the above solution has an alternative view.
