Investment in Residential House Property could make the assessee entitled for exemption from Capital Gain U/s 54F.

04 December 2011 Residential Property means Residential House Property. On sale of plot if another plot is purchased, exemption is not available.
.
If you have purchased the plot and constructed house there upon, eligibility of
exemption was there.
