hi.. i want to know whether the proceeds of long term capital gain from sale of a residential house can be used to pay of the debts of the Assessee(debts relating to house so being transfered)?

If so, can it be even used to pay off loan povided by private parties?

If not so, can the Assessee evade paying capital gain tax? Does all people who sell their capital asset are paying the capital gain tax promptly?
