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
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).

Tarun Jalali Vs Dy. DIT (ITAT Delhi) sub-section 4 of section 54F prescribes appropriation of sale consideration of original asset towards provision of new asset made within one year before the date of transfer of original asset, two years from the date of transfer or construction of new in-house property, within three years from the […]
What subsection (1) of Section 54 of the Act requires is that the assessee, after the date of transfer, purchases or within three years after such date, constructs a residential unit, only then the benefit of deduction would be granted. This provision, therefore, provides that construction of the residential unit should be done after the date of transfer but, within three years from such date.
In terms of Section 54F the assessee is only entitled to proportionate exemption vis-a-vis, cost of the original asset and the cost of the new assets. In the light of the above, the AO is directed to recomputed the capital gains exemption.
