as per section 54 b(1), dedction is available if the new agriculral land is aquired within a period of two years after the date of sale. now in ur case, the purchase deed has beeen excuted before the date of sale as per sec 53 A of tranfer of property act , tranfer is completed only if possession has been offered and consideration has been recd. u have not clarified wheathjer possession has been offered at the time of purchase or not. and why the sale deed was executed on 9/3/2011 without consideration. as per my view , if possession was not given and it was linked with consideartion, then u can claim dedction u/s 54 B 1.
