14 February 2008 If the whole of the consideration is paid & possession of the house is obtained, the exemption contempleted u/s 54 is attracted.
Construction of the house should be completed within 3 yrs from the date of transfer.
The House Property so purchased/constructed has not been transferred within a period of 3 yrs from the date of purchase/construction.
