The exemptions under Section 54 have been explained by Adv. Amit Bajaj in the following link :

In the December Journal of the ICAI, there is a case law CIT V/s Kinetic Capital Finance Ltd. (Sep. 2, 2011 - Delhi) which clearly speaks of exemption for investment of the proceeds in either National Housing Bonds or in Rural Electrification Corporation Limited till the house is purchased or constructed within 3 years.
