Section 54 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 continues to influence residential property transactions by allowing individuals and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs) to claim exemption on long-term capital gains arising from the sale of a residential asset. The provision permits reinvestment into another residential property within specified timelines, thereby deferring tax liability. The exemption is capped at INR 10 crore and applies only where gains are reinvested in a property located in India. The rule also mandates a three-year holding period for the new asset to retain tax benefits. The framework has remained a key consideration for home sellers, particularly in high-value urban markets, as it directly impacts reinvestment decisions, transaction structuring, and capital allocation within the residential real estate sector.Read more
