1. Since you have sold a LAND, exemption can be claimed u/s 54F. The amount of exemption shall be computed as under:
Amount Invested * Capital Gain/Net Sale Consideration.
2. You can also avail exemption by depositing the sale proceeds in a Capital Gain Account Scheme. The amount has to be deposited BEFORE the due date of filing the return.
3. The amount has to be utilized within the period of 3 years. The unutilized amount shall be taxable as LTCG.
