Quick Summary
This discussion explores the conditions for claiming exemption under Section 54 of the Income Tax Act. It clarifies that exemption is only applicable to the transfer of long-term residential property. Crucially, a purchase agreement is generally required to claim this exemption, making it difficult to proceed without one. Ownership documents related to the property may also be considered.
It's a different section for claiming exemption on transfer of capital asset which results in short term capital gain or long term capital gain. But since u do not hv any agreement of purchase while purchasing the property.Its difficult to sale.
