Sir,I want to know that whether the exemption under section 54 is availed if I had purchased the residential house within prescribed time limit but on loan and not using the capital gain on sale of my previous house?

purchase/construction of new house need to be from the proceeds of sale....but no compulsory nexus or live link between Sale proceeds and cost of new asset
