The only options available to save tax on Capital Gains is to invest under modes specified under section 54. There are no other modes by which tax on capital gains can be saved.

CA Suraj Lakhotia's view is correct if his views are in respect of the balance amount of 1.50 Crore's Capital Gains. . When the client resists ?
He may have certain profitable avenues of earning higher profits than the tax amount is likely to be paid or he may be in urgent needs of funds for other purposes.
