I'll put forth my doubt here.Sec. 54 of IT Act is applicable w.r.t sale of a residential property and investment in another residential property.What will be the consequence if a person owning 3 flats with separate door nos. (within the same compound) sells all of them and invests in a single residential property.Also explain the wealth tax perspective of this transaction. thanking you in advance, srivatsan

if all theree flats are in one compound & he living in that house then you will purchase another house for capital gain in wealth tax u/s 2(e)(a) & Sec 5 of the same act one house or 500 sq mt land are exempted from wealth tax & in the above cases your purcasing three houses & residing in the same house only doors are different but in the same compound are not liable to wealth tax
