Then what is the solution to avoid capital gain Sir?

if you cancel the sale deed, then there's no sale of capital asset and hence no capital gain

To save Capital gains tax the amount can be invested in any house property (sec. 54F) or in Cap. Gain Bonds (sec 54EC) etc etc ....... for exemption...

Sir I sold the land and got the money from the buyer, how can I cancel the sale deed now, is it possible?

There are two ways to cancel a duly registered deed -

i) by consent of both the parties - which has to be via a registered cancellation deed, on which stamp duty is payable.

ii) Via court on proving that the document is bad in itself due to flaw in consent etc.

in neither of the cases do you get the registration fee back
