27 February 2012 If you purchase the new house before the due date of filing the return,, you can claim exemption u/s 54.

However, if you are unable to invest the amount, then you can deposit the same in the capital gain account scheme with a nationalised bank and claim exemption from Capital Gain.

27 February 2012 Agree with Expert....
Deposit in Capital Gain Scheme Account with Bank and withdraw the amount as per the requirement for buying new property.

Thanks
