One of our client has sold his property (long term )in F.Y. 11-12 and purchased another property in the same F.Y. But payment was not made in full. However, the possession as well as the Agreement Deed is under the name of our client.Whether exemption u/s 54F is allowed against the purchase of new property?

25-Mar-2013 , 06:28:10 pmI feel that the exemption should be allowed if there is an adequate proof to justify that the new sale deed is equivalent or greater than the amount of capital gain derived out of the sale of old property. Exemption u/s.54 is also allowed if the new invest. is done out of borrowed funds and the gain is realized subs.. In your case, if the sale deed for new property is done w/o full payment, it is deemed to be on credit/ borrowed funds.
