The section 54EC has a provisio as under:
Provided that the investment made on or after the 1st day of April, 2007 in the long-term specified asset by an assessee during any financial year does not exceed fifty lakh rupees.
It means that limit of Rs. 50 Lacs is to be seen for any one financial year.
If asset is sold on 15 March 2011, and Rs. 50 Lacs is invested on 25 Mar 2011 and another 50 Lacs on 15 April 2011, exemption of Rs.1 Crore can be claimed, as both the conditions are satisfied:
