to avail capital gain under Sec.54f individual should not own more than one residential property.
now a person is selling self acquired other than residential property and same person is holding more than one joint family property(7 brother) in name of their late parents, than in these case he can avail capital gain benefit by buying residential property or not ? and as per Sec 54f "own" stands for self acquired property in a single name or joint family property in name of their late parents will also be considered ?

Acxording to me he cannot avail this exemption because registered ownership is not compulsory even beneficial ownership is sufficent to debar the benefit.
