Dear SIR,
A person sells his plot and part of the sale proceeds are invested in the purchase of a partly built up house. Can he get exemption if remaining sale proceeds are invested in addition/renovation of the new capital asset within the stipulated period u/s 54F. Please advise.
As per the provisions of Section 54F, the Assessee can get exemption for remaining sale proceeds which are invested in new capital assets, if the said investments are in the stipulated period as mentioned in section 54F. In Meher R. Surti v. ITO (2014) 61 SOT 5 (URO) / 27 ITR 340 (Mum.)(Trib.) expenditure on improvement / renovation for making it habitable it would be eligible as investment in new asset .
