Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the application of Section 54F of the Income Tax Act regarding capital gains exemption when purchasing property. The core question is whether buying two houses within the same financial year, when the assessee previously owned none, contravenes the provisions of Section 54F. The consensus is that purchasing two houses in the same financial year will likely lead to the denial of the exemption. Two alternative solutions are proposed: deferring the purchase of the second property to the next financial year, or investing in a family member's name.

Yes..in the same Financial year, if you buy 2 houses, then 54F exemption Will be denied..
Alternatively, you can try these two ways
1. push the purchase of 2nd house to the next financial year.
2. invest in your family members' name(preferably) or jointly with your family member. Ensure that consideration moves out in their name
Transaction of Cap gain is yet to take place....so should I pur one house immediately and another house after such transaction?
