If your indexed cost of acquisition is 5 lakhs and then flat is sold for 20 lakhs then LTCG is Rs. 15 lakhs and which is invested on purchase of house property then exemption from LTCG u/s 54 Rs. 15 lakhs and hence net capital gain zero.
2. No exemption from capital gains if gains not invested to purchase new house property.
