Yes, the construction cost after sale of first plot will be eligible for exemption u/s. 54F, provided other conditions on the section are fulfilled. Need to deposit balance amount in CGAS, 1988 acc, before filing ITR. Declare capital gain in the schedule CG, and claim deduction u/s. 54F for the investment to be made on construction of the house.
