Under Section 54, there is a period of 3 years from the time of sale of property during which the new house property is to be constructed.
My query is: The time limit under Section 54 was extended till September 30, 2020 (for the period being completed by March 31, 2020). But in case the period of 3 years is ending in February 2021, is there any way to claim exemption till March 2021 or later? Given the fact there was a force majeure event like Covid, and that an extension of 6 months has been given in 2020 (so could it apply to a period expiring beyond September 2020)?
