She will first have to compute long term capital gains. Long term capital gains is what is to be reinvested in another property and not the whole sale price of the flat. She may avail exemption u/s 54 by investing in another property within 2 years from sale of the flat. It also depends on the payment schedule with the builder. She may also deposit in capital gain account and make payment to the builder from that account.
