exemption u/s 54 or 54F will depend upon the asset sold. If asset sold is residential house property than it will qualify for section 54 and if other than residential property it will qualify for section 54F. Wife invested in husbmand's name. It is debatable whether wife will get exemption for investment in husband's name. One will have to look for case laws in this regard.
