Deduction U/s 54 /54F


21 January 2010 An Assessee has sold residential house.Due to his severe illness, he purchased a new residential house in the name of his wife.My question is that whether he can claim deduction U/s 54.Whether there is any High Court/ Supreme Court decision on this situation. Please quote the relevant one.


21 January 2010 no, can'nt claim


21 January 2010 Residential house must be in the name of the assessee only - For qualifying for the exemption under section 54F, it is necessary and obligatory to have the investment made in residential house in the name of the assessee only.
