The Delhi High Court in case of Bharti Mishra held that section 54F prescribes appropriation of sale consideration within one year before the date of transfer of original asset, two years from the date of transfer or construction of new property within three years from the date of transfer. However, the Act does not prescribe any condition as to the date of commencement of construction of house property which may be commenced even before the date of transfer of original asset.
Deduction under section 54 was allowable on purchase of flats as merely because assessee, by ignorance of law or mistake, had claimed deduction under section 54F instead of section 54, such ignorance of law/mistake on the part of assessee could not be utilized to its disadvantage by AO.

Assessee was entitled to claim exemption under section 54F on gain earned on the sale of factory shed as factory shed inherently being long-term capital asset as per the provision of Section 2(42A) even if sale of factory shed was subject to short-term capital gain on the basis of deeming provision as specified under section 50.
Assessee was not entitled to claim of deduction under section 54F as assessee had failed to deposit the unutilized amount of capital gains in the capital gains scheme account by the due date of filing of return of income.
Where assessee had purchased new residential house utilizing own funds lying in his saving bank account, deduction under section 54F could not be denied on the allegation that assessee did not utilize capital gains for investment purpose because source of utilization of fund is irrelevant for claiming benefit of deduction under section 54F.
