You are entitled to section 54 deduction.
No tax liability on LTCG.

Yes you are eligible for 54 deductions. a small correction to Mr keerthi statement , the time limit is 2 years from the date of sale of original asset

As far as the assessee’s investment is concerned, the Tribunal in one of the major cases upheld that the assessee is eligible for exemption under Section 54F of the Act even though the investment was said to be made in the joint name of assessee and her husband. So the position of Capital gains u/s 54 will be exempt under section 54 as Capital gain is Investing in another Residential Property.
