you can either take the exemption u/s 54EC by nivesting the entire CG of 9lakhs in the bonds issued by REC, NHAI before 6months from the date of transfer.
OR you can invest the cg by purhcasing a residential property. if you are unable to invest the Cg in the residential property on or before the due date of filing the retunr then you need to deposit the Cg in Capital Gains Account Scheme of SBI or any other bank & then start utilising the Cg from the scheme as & when requried within 2 years from teh date of trasnfer.

NIL, provided that you utilize the amount from the CG scheme within 2 years from the date of trasnfer, else it would be taxable @ 20% after lapse of 2yrs.
