As we had discussed about the taxation rules on sale of immovable property, in the article on Capital Gain on Immovable Property we are here to understand the benefits that can be claimed under section 54, 54EC & 54F to save tax on long term capital gains
The word held used in section 2(14) implies right over a capital asset. In the instant case, right over the property was held by assessee for the period of 36 months, by paying first installment and builder issued a provisional letter of allotment and from that period, assessee had been enjoying legal right over the said property.
A bare reading of section 54F clearly shows that the assessee is entitled for exemption in case he/she purchase/constructs a one residential house in India within a period of two/three years after the sale of the capital asset or purchases one year before the date of transfer. However, sub-clause (4) of section 54F clearly says that the unutilized portion of the net sale consideration [not utilized before the date of furnishing the return of income under section 139] which is otherwise liable for capital gain tax shall be deposited in the capital gain account scheme within the period of due date for filing return of income under section 139(1).
As far as the deduction u/s. 54F of the Act on the question whether if under a JDA multiple flats are given to the owner whether deduction u/s.54F of the Act can be given, the decision of the Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka and the other decision cited before us supports the plea of the […]

In the present case also the assessee has booked […]
Deduction for Medical treatment of dependent :- Under Section 80DD of the Act, where an individual has incurred expenditure for the medical treatment, training and rehabilitation of a dependent, being a person with disability or has paid or deposited any amount under prescribed scheme for the maintenance of dependent, such individual will be allowed a deduction to the extent of Rs 50,000. However, if the dependent is suffering from severe disability, a deduction of Rs 75,000 will be allowed.
There is no bar / restriction in the provisions of section 139(5) of the Act that the assessee cannot file a revised return of income after issuance of notice under section 143(2) of the Act. It is trite law, the assessee can file a revised return of income even in course of the assessment proceedings, provided, the time limit prescribed under section 139(5) of the Act is available. That being the case, the revised return of income filed by the assessee under section 139(5) of the Act cannot be held as invalid.
Whether the reinvestment made by the assessee in 3 residential houses having common amenities, kitchen, common entrance, common house name, common electrical, common storage, common water, common garden, common boundary wall, common guard room, etc would give eligibility to claim exemption u/s 54 of the Act by construing all the three units as a single residential house ?
