17 April 2012 What will be my capital gain tax exemption, if do have the net sale consideration from a capital asset of Rs.40,00,000/, but I have taken a new house spending Rs.35,00,000/?

I am sure the total of my capital gain(Rs.5,00,000/) received from the sale will not be exempted.

Whether I will be able to claim deduction under section 54F or not ?

18 April 2012 Dear Soumendra,

Since your net consideration for purchasing anew house is less than net consideration received

Praportionate capital gains will qualify for deduction U/s 54F

i.e. 3500000/4000000*500000=437500 will be available dor deduction balance taxable

20 April 2012 54F says gross consideration to be invested and not the capital gain. As you have not invested the entire gross receipt on sale of the property then the experts are correct and accordingly you will be liable for capital gains.
