Yes you can get the exemption on entire amount as the time limit is 6 months from the date of transfer. there is no restriction of financial year.
And according to me, you can claim simultaneous exemptions under section 54 and sec 54EC, as no where it is clarified that these two sections are mutually exclusive.
