Section 54 of IT Act

Tax queries 216 views 8 replies

Hi,

I own three three residential flats. Out of which I want to sell one residential flat and buy a new residential flat out of Long Term Capital Gain amount. Can i claim exemption under Section 54 of IT Act for the above investment (Because Section 54 does not restrict owing multiple properties when selling one of the properties)?

Can anyone please clarify?

Yes, you can claim an exemption under section 54. The restriction of "owning not more than 1 house" is under section 54F and not under section 54.

Thanks Mr. Ayush. 

Yes Section 54 can be availed

Thanks a lot Mr. Souray, for your clarification.

Your welcome
But there is a period within which you hv to purchase.

Thanks Mr.Mukerjee. Yes, I am aware of time norms within which to purchase / construct. 

That sounds better.

Otherwise the very essence of Sec 54 goes for a toss
