Section 54 is available only in respect of the transfer of a residential house. . In your case Section 54F was supposed to be providing you the benefit. But the scheme of Section 54F is also not applicable. . So, in my view, there were two alternatives only and both are not beneficial to the assessee, so he may be advised to pay LTCG tax to avoid Interest U/s 234C.
