Sorry i have not gone through the example but,
Benefit of exemption u/s. 54F can be claimed if new asset is purchase in india or outside india also.
Mr..Karthikeyan...
According to me...The exemption u/s 54 F will be allowed - even if the Res. house is purchased outside india.....I have studied somewhere....I think the Act does not restricts this......
It may be in India or outside India, exemption u/s. 54F is permitted. No restriction in law.
Yes, agree with above answers, the assessee need not invest in India..
However, you should also consider
1. If the original asset transferred is liable to tax in India (which i assume, yes), on a combined reading of provisions of section 4, section 6 and section 9.
Pls see in detail section 9(1)(i), to understand what i mean (whthr deemed to accrue or arise in India)
2. Whether the assessee owns more than one residential house, as on the date of transfer of original asset, including within and OUTSIDE india.
