A person had purchased a plot of land for Rs. 1.5 lac in 2003, and the same is sold for Rs. 12 lacs in 2011. Afterwards, he purchased another plot of land from the earlier sale proceeds. Is there any provision in Section 54 to claim such exemptions on the capital gain.

Yes you can claim exemption under Section 54 only if such plot of land is use for construction of new house before 2 years of purchase of it or 3 years after purchase of the same.
