Sec 54EC is applicable only when there is a transfer of capital asset (house) and investing the sale proceeds in infrastructure bonds.

Yes.
54F if invest in Hp
54 EC for investing in specified investment instrument.
coverted asset can be treated as longterm & profit as longterm capital gain

The law stands correct as per Sec 54EC.
All capital asset transfer.
But , I have told u the general trend.
Sec 54 F, Sec 54 EC stands for availng exemption on transfer of capital asset and availing benefit out of it .
