IF someone has purchased a house for Rs. 1500000 & sells it for Rs. 3000000 & it a a long term asset & he dont want to pay capital gain tax on such capital gain then how this money can be utilised or invested for saving tax under different provisions of income tax act?

Section 54 provides exemption on long-term capital gains arising on sale of residential property and investment of such capital gains in another residential property. The law envisages a time limit within which the investment should be made. That is two years for purchase and three years for construction. But if after the sale of the property, you cannot find another property of your choice, the amount of capital gain should be kept in any authorised bank under a Capital Gains Accounts Scheme till investment.

But sir besides this section 54 there is no other option in income tax act to save tax on this capital gain like showing this amt as expenses for son's marriage or anything else?
