Deduction u/s 54 - investment in two different houses - The Hon’ble Court’s opinion is that, the physical structure of a new residential house whether it is literal or vertical, should not come in the way of considering the building as a residential house and there can be several independent units can be permitted in a single building for allowance of the deduction u/s 54/54F. But in the present case, the assessee has admittedly claimed deduction u/s 54 with respect to two different houses i.e. purchase of a new house and for repayment of loan borrowed for acquisition of another house which is situated not only in different building but also in a different area. Therefore, the judgment relied by the Ld. Counsel for the assessee is not applicable to the present case. - AT
