Section 54F exemption in case of multiple properties

ITR 679 views 6 replies

I have a joint ownership for a residential land plot with my sibling. We haven't constructed any house there. We are not planning to contruct any house there in next 3-4 years. We purchased this property in September 2023. This was purchased without any section 54F claim.

Currently I am planning to buy new residential plot/house with my capital gain. If I buy land plot, I will immediately start construction of house. Can I claim section 54F benefit for new property? Will it create any problem since I already have a residential plot?

No. No problem to get the exemption u/s. 54F IT act.

So, I can claim 54F benefit/exemption for new property and make sure to construct house in 3 years?

Yes, only if you do not have more than one house property at the time of the claim.                                      

I have few clarification questions - 

  1. Are foreign stocks (capital gain from foreign stocks) applicable for section 54F? I believe they are.
  2. If you do not have more than one house property at the time of the claim =>
    1. Does it mean I should not contruct any new house on different property in next 3 years and existing residential plot should not be used for house contruction? I should constuct house on the new property where I have claimed section 54F only?
    2. Can I still buy other residential plots for investment purpose without section 54F? Will it cancel my any previous section 54F exemption in 3 years? I will not contruct any house there.
  3. What do you mean by house property? Do you mean a independent house/Flat? Does it contain land plot (without any house) as well?

Could you please answer above questions? It will be very helpful. Thanks in Advance. 

Sec 54F is applicable
