To qualify for the exemption claim U/s.54 is there any restriction on holding of certain number of residential property/ies? I mean, can a person holding more than 1 (say 4) residential properties claim exemption U/s.54?
Thanks.

If the Assessee is Owning a Residential Peoperty, he can avail Exemption U/s.54 by investing the Entire Sale Proceeds in a New Residetial Unit .
If the Assessee Owns more than one (As Stated in Your Query) Exemption U/s.54 is not available to him
