If a person wants to invest Rs.15 Lakhs in 54 EC bonds to avail tax exemption on LTCG, how should he go about doing it?

1) Where can he buy the bonds?  Where is it available? What is better NHAI or REC?

2) Will the money invested earn interest? If so, how much? 

3) What documents do you need to subsribe to a bond?
