Delhi Man Wins ITAT Case Claiming Income Tax Exemption Under Section 54
Mr. Kumar from Delhi sold his Paschim Vihar property in 2013, realizing a long-term capital gain, and claimed income tax exemption under Section 54 by constructing a new house in Tilak Nagar. The Income Tax Department issued a notice questioning the exemption because the new house construction began nearly a year before the sale. Kumar contested this, and the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) Delhi ruled in his favor, allowing the exemption despite the timing of construction.
