Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether a wife can claim tax exemption under Section 54 of the Income Tax Act when she sells a residential property gifted by her husband and purchases another within 10 days. The consensus suggests Section 54F is applicable, provided the new property's value meets the criteria. It also addresses stamp duty, indicating that a specific exemption is unlikely, though it might be considered part of the cost for Section 54F purposes.

1. yes, you can avail 54f however the value of the new property should not be less than the gross receipts recieved on sale of the old property.

2.i think stamp duty exemption cannot be availed. however the same can be included in the cost of the new building purchased for the purpose of exemption under section 54f
Seems quite ok.
