Section 54F, read with sections 48 and 50C — Where entire actual sales consideration had been invested in purchase and construction of residential house by assessee, capital gain would be exempt under section 54F and provisions of section 50C would not be applicable.

FACTS

The assessee had sold shops and received actual sale consideration of ₹12 lakhs, which was less than the value accepted by the DLC of ₹20.78 lakhs. The assessee claimed long term capital gain (LTCG) at nil after seeking exemption under section 54F, contending that the entire actual sale consideration was invested in the purchase and construction of the residential house.

The Assessing Officer (AO) disallowed the claim of the assessee for the reason that the assessee had not deposited the sale consideration received on transfer of the property in capital gain account as per provisions of section 54F(4).
