To avail any long term capital gains tax deduction (u/s. 54/ 54F), you should be there as co-owner along with your DIL while purchasing new house property.

thanks a lot for your response.

actualy i am karta of my HUF and the property is inthe name of the HUF. Now let me know (1) weather my son's wife is member of my HUF or Not ? Can I purchase new house in her name in this case or even now i will have to puchase jointly with her.

thanks.

1. Yes.

2. You can, but not without litigation.

3. Better purchase in the name of HUF only. After 3 years you can make partition of HUF and assign its assets among the members as per mutual consent.
