Please dont repeat the same question.
Anyways, reply to your similar question is as below:
1. Exempted if reinvested amount is greater than amount of capital gains, calculated as per method permissible under IT ACt, from sale of property in question.
2. Exempted, as an interim measure, for current AY if he deposit the money in CGAS before due date for filing of return.
3. WIthin 2 years/3years from the date of transfer, he has to purchase/construct another house to finaly avail the exemption. ANy house purchased 1 year before also is allowed to be considered for the purpose.
