Exemption u/s 54f
Abhishek Trivedi
Exemption under section 54F: whether converting a newly built residential house to commercial rental affects eligibility. Whether an exemption under section 54F claimed on investment of capital gains in the purchase of a new residential plot and construction of a house remains valid if the taxpayer, for lack of other income, uses the newly constructed house for commercial purposes (renting it out for parties) instead of as a residence.
