Quick Summary
This discussion examines eligibility for a capital gains tax deduction under Section 54F when a client sells shares and subsequently purchases a house. To qualify, shares must have been held for over 12 months with STT paid. Crucially, the entire net sale proceeds from the shares must be invested in the new residential property within the specified timelines. Failure to invest the full amount may result in a proportionate deduction based on the amount invested.

Yes, provided the shares were held for more than 12 months, and STT paid over the transfer.

For claiming deduction u/s. 54F, the entire net consideration i.e  net sale price has to be invested in purchase or construction of  one residential house (new house) in India. In your case, you should have invested the entire sale value i.e.,8,73,000 in the house. Otherwise proportionate [Capital gain / Total consideration * amount invested (873000)] capital gain will only be allowed as deduction. It may also be noted that you may have to comply with the conditions associated with this deduction that are given as under:

(i)   should not own more than one residential house ( the income of which is chargeable under the head Income from HP), other than the new asset, on the date of transfer of the original asset; or
(ii)   should not purchase any residential house, other than the new asset, within a period of one year after the date of transfer of the original asset; or
(iii)   should not construct any residential house, other than the new asset, within a period of three years after the date of transfer of the original asset;
