I have sold two plots in December 2019 and I have invested in the construction of a new house. The land was already purchased in April 2018. Whether or not I can avail benefits under Section 54F of Income Tax Act for both plots

Taxpayer selling multiple properties( 2 plots in your case) & invests in one residential house is eligible to claim deduction u/s 54F. House should be constructed within 3 years from the date of transfer.

However , there are many case laws where deduction is not denied even though construction not completed within 3 years .

If you have not started construction within due date of return filling, you will get deduction u/s 54F, if you deposit Net sale consideration in Capital Gain Account Scheme.(CGAS)
