My client sold residential land which neither has building or any structure. He bought the same same in 2001-2002 at Rs 48 Lakhs and spent Rs 13 Lakhs for development of the land fit for sale on construction of compound wall and gravelling in 2002-2003,
He sold the land for Rs 2.786 crores in April-2021. He invested Rs 2,50 cr in residential house.
I request professionals to calculate the Capital Gain and advise to go for 54 or 54F of Income Tax

Thanks for your encouraging feedback. The resultant taxable CG shown in my working of Rs.895083 say Rs 9 lakhs will have to be invested in Sec 54EC bonds to save the LTCG tax thereon.

Thanks. In my opinion to avoid tax , he has to invest Rs 28,60,000 being Net Sale consideration Rs 2,78,60,000 as reduced by Investment of Rs 2,50,00,000/-
Please correct me if I am wrong

For deduction u/s. 54EC, the requirement is to invest capital gain and not consideration. Only Sec.54F requires to invest to the extent of consideration.

As you mentioned the investment in bonds, I presume that it is under section 54EC, In such a case, the investment is only with reference to the capital gain ( i.e., 9 Lakhs as mentioned earlier) and not consideration. In this case, you may avail the deduction under Sec. 54F and Sec 54EC together as explained above.
