She is already having two houses in her name.Does the income tax attracts in such cases. Pl discuss the law position and I am greatful if any case laws are given.

Since she is already having 2 Residential Houses in her name, she can not get exemption U/s 54F by purchasing a third residential house in any mode or manner. . You may invest the capital gains U/s 54EC in Bonds of NHAI, REC etc. .
