05 June 2024 Mr A has booked Flat in 2018 under subvention scheme (where no EMI till possession) .

Till date out of 75 lakh he had paid only 5 lakh and for balance 70 lakh loan emi will start after possession.

Flat possession is likely to get in March 2025.

Mr A is having long term mutual fund gain about 50 lakh .

Can he sold mutual fund them and repay loan in Mar 25 and claim for income tax as long term gain invested for purchase of flat ?

Please advise

05 June 2024 Hello Dhirajlal Sir,
In the apparrent case how will he fall under Sec 54F clause,

Since he has not purchased a ready flat 1 year before the sale of Asset nor he is purchasing a ready flat within 2 years after the sale of asset, as he already done purchased a under construction property 6 years Back i.e. 2018.

How will he be eligible u/s 54F
