Dear Sir / Madam, My query is as follows: Mr A sold equity shares of listed companies and earned Long term capital gain of Rs. 275,000/- (Sales value Rs. 15 lakhs). He purchased a residential house property in the same year for Rs 50 lakhs.
Instead of claiming exemption of long term capital gain upto Rs. 1 lakh, Can he claim exemption of entire long term capital gain of Rs. 275,000/- by showing u/s 54F the investment of sales proceeds of equity shares of Rs. 15 lakhs in the purchase of new house property?
