21 May 2012 There would be minimum capital gains tax in any case as indexed cost of acquisition would be around Rs. 16 lacs sale value Rs. 90 lacs and investment u/s 54 Rs. 70 lacs. So around Rs. 4 lacs would be capital gains in any case.

To claim exemption u/s 54 for safe side deposit Rs. 35 lacs in capital gains scheme with nationalised bank and use it when you are making payment for the new flat. As your flat purchase would be within one year before or two years after the sale of flat then you can claim exemption u/s 54.
