I differ with the above views. Exemption under section 54 can be availed even if the taxpayer owns more than one house on the date of transfer. As per the amendment proposed to Section 54 in the Finance Bill 2014, restriction is imposed with effect from 1-4-2015 on construction of one house for availing capital gain.
