If I Convert an agricultural land (inherited from my grandfather) to NA plots and sale the same and then invest the amount from the sale of plots in to residential property which is under construction will i be able to get the LTCG benefit under section 54?

Dear PAnkaj, U can claim exemption under section 54 F because it merely says that capital gain from sale of any capital asset can be used for construction of residential property. but the balance amount not utilized should be deposited in Capital Gains deposit accounts scheme before filing ITR or 30th september whichever is earlier.

Dear CA Ilayaraja / CA Siddhartha, "sale of any capital asset",as u said. I am confused that the land was an agricultural land which i converted to NA and i purchased a residential property. But someone was telling me that if i sale agricultural land then i would get ltcg exemption only if i invest the amount into purchase of agricultural land and not residential property. kindly provide your opinion.

Yes you will get the exemption. As said above exemption u/s 54F is available if ANY CAPITAL ASSET other than a residential house has been sold.
Your non-agricultural land falls within ANY CAPITAL ASSET.
