It is not Taxable even after 3 years bcoz since the intention behind invetment is to save tax & therefore since whn inveted it is nt taxable thn whn u rec it aftre redempiton its nt taxable , its lik u r recving ur investment back whic is capital in nature....so ther is no q of any income as per definition of IT Act u/s2(24)...therfore not taxable...
Only thing taxable is THE INTRST RECVD on the said bonds under SEC 54EC.

The section 54EC has a provisio as under:
Provided that the investment made on or after the 1st day of April, 2007 in the long-term specified asset by an assessee during any financial year does not exceed fifty lakh rupees.
It means that limit of Rs. 50 Lacs is to be seen for any one financial year.
If asset is sold on 15 March 2011, and Rs. 50 Lacs is invested on 25 Mar 2011 and another 50 Lacs on 15 April 2011, exemption of Rs.1 Crore can be claimed, as both the conditions are satisfied:
1. Exemtion does not exceed Rs.50 Lacs in any one financial year, and
2. Time limit of 6 months from the date of transfer is also not exceeded.

Sec 54EC says that an Assessee gets exemption if he investes in certain specified assets(REC bonds, NHAI Bonds) within 6 months from the date of transfer of long term capital asset. Here no monetary limit is specified for the maximum exemption. However it further provides that an assessee can invest maximum upto Rs. 50 Lacs during a financial year. So agreeing with the example given by Anurag, he can get benefit upto maximum Rs. 1 Crore.

yes agree u/s 54 ec an assessee can claim max 1 crore exemption but two things shod b satisfied
1... this investment shud be within 6 months of trf
2.. and in a one fy max 50 crore..
e.g. trf takes place on 1 jan2011 then u hv invest 50 cr.up to 31 march and next 50 lakh from 1 st april 2011 to 30 june 2011 in this case u cn avail 1 cr exemption...
most imp thing is tht make trf as much possible to nearest of 31 st march..good tax planning..

The main aim for investment is to save tax, hence if redeemed after 3 yrs will not be taxable.
But interest accruing every year will be taxable
