I had a residential property which was sold and the proceeds for the same were invested in a land. A building was constructed on the land for business activities.
Questions 1. Can I claim exemption under capital gains, if yes, under which subsection of section 54? 2. can exemption be claimed on entire investment made towards construction of building?

Exemption u/s 54 is available only if capital gains arising out of sale of residential property is invested in purchase or construction of a new residential property. In your case your have mentioned that building was constructed on land for business activities so not available.
