1. Within a period of one year before or two years after the date of transfer of old house, the taxpayer should acquire another residential house or should construct a residential house within a period of three years from the date of transfer of the old house. I think the two years clause is applicable to you since you are buying a property and not constructing one. 2. As per Section 54 if amount is not invested within 2 years/3years as the case may be, the unutilized amount shall be taxable in the year in which the 2/3 years expires. So there will not be any penalty or interest if tax is paid on the unutilized amount in the year in which 2/3 years expires.
