Dear Friend....
Only a part of the land is sold with Building(superstructure)... i.e.50% share in land is sold along with the building retaining another 50% land.... If he builds the First floor can he claim exemption u/s 54??? Whether it will be allowed??? Is there any Case law supporting this or opposing this???
