One of my client has sold 10 year old residential house. There is LTCG also, by applying Cost Inflation Index. He has taken 50% amount in his account & rest in his wife's bank account. Question is:- (1) Is there any problem in taking amount like this? (2) What formality he has to fulfill for coming 3 years to claim exemption u/s 54(F) as he wants to invest the same in another residential house. Please advice.
