Section 54F was construed as a beneficial provision whose substance is timely investment of capital gains in a residential house, and the Tribunal held that exemption could not be denied where that substantive requirement was met. The assessee's investment was found genuine and the discrepancy in the flat number was explained by developer records, which the Revenue did not rebut.
