Dear sir, Suppose Mr. X having two houses in which one of them was received as gift. Now he sold these two houses. Ex: House A- Rs.1crore Jun-17 House B- Rs.30lacs (sale date Dec-2017 He invested the money in NHAI bonds of Rs,50lacs and purchased a flat of Rs.30lacs. Can he invest the amt received from house b in NHAI bonds in next year Apr-18?
Calculation Sale Value : 1cr Indexed COA :11lacs Balance amt 89 lacs Invested in : 50 lacs Nhai
Invested in Property :39lacs Balance amt : 11 lacs (Can he invest in another asset or he has to pay CG tax)
House B: Sale Value :29lacs Indexed COA :10lacs Balance : 19 lacs (Can he invest these funds in NHAI in next year)
As per the provisions outlined under Section 54EC, the maximum amount of investment that an assessee can make in long-term specified assets or bonds mentioned under Section 54EC, cannot be more than Rs 50 lakhs over the duration of a financial year. However, it should be noted that the period of six months from the date of the transfer of the asset, during which the capital gains investment must be made, cannot include any portion of the following financial year. In other words, if Long Term Capital Gain arises in a single financial year total benefit under section 54ec will be limited to 50 lakhs and excess investment benefit cannot be claimed even if more investment is made in subsequent financial year.

Benefit through investments in NHAI bonds cannot be more than 50 lakhs against capital gain arising in single Financial Year.
So for House B, balance of 19 lakhs cannot be invested in NHAI bonds next year.

No. For AY 2018-19. maximum allowable investment as per Sec. 54EC for all the properties' transfer is capped at Rs. 50 lakhs. For the same asset transfer, he cannot invest the balance in AY 2019-20.
