Act; and (b) that since the sale consideration from sale of Plot No. J- 196, Aashiyana, Lucknow, has not been utilized for construction of residential house at 56-B, Singar Nagar, Lucknow, the same was not eligible for claiming exemption u/s 54F of I.T.

(3) Gouli Mahadevappa vs. ITO [2013] 33 Taxmann.com 47 (Karnataka). (4) Smt. Pushpa Devi Tirbrewala vs. ITO [2013] 33 Taxmann.com 305 (Hyderabad Trib.) 9. The ld. D.R., on the other hand, has, supporting the impugned order, contended that as correctly held by the ld. CIT(A), the investment in the new asset has to be made from the net consideration received on sale of the original asset and not from any other source; and that therefore, the appellant's contention that as per section 54F of the Act, the total amount actually incurred by the assessee for construction of residential portion at plot No. 56-B should be deducted, irrespective of the fact that the funds invested are from different sources and not from the capital gain, is devoid of any merit. 10.
