Against sale of land you received 15L. This is to be indexed and out of this you have purchased flat for 8.25. This 8.25 shall be exempted from the indexation value of land.
Purchase of flat in the name of your son will not qualify for exemption out of sale proceed of 15L. Anyhow if you want the full exemption ten the capital gain out of 15 L less invested in flat 8.25 be deposited in Bonds to qualify for exemption u/s 54EC
