Yes, you can claim the exemption u/s. 54 for both the LTCGs.

Exemption u/s 54 is available for purchase/construction of one residential house property.

You can claim deduction only for one unit not for both.
Therefore maximum deduction can be 6Lakh.

There is no restriction placed in section 54 which restricts exemption only in respect of sale of one residential house. Even if assessee sells more than one house in the same year and the capital gains is invested in a new residential house, the claim of exemption cannot be denied if other conditions are fulfilled. [DCIT v.
