I have a LTCG this year. For this I want to claim exemption u/s 54. Will the expenditure incurred by me in constructing 2 new rooms in my existing house, be eligible for exemption in sec.54? Further I have also incurred expenditure in getting my house freehold during this year. Will that be eligible also????
