Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the conditions for claiming capital gains tax exemption under Sections 54 and 54F of the Income Tax Act. It explains that Section 54 does not restrict an individual from owning multiple residential properties to claim exemption on the sale of one. However, Section 54F has specific conditions regarding the ownership of residential houses.

In case 1 - Sec 54 contains no provision that the assessee should not hold more than one house for claiming exemption.

In case 2 however have condition, that assessee should not own more than one residential house.
