1) Max limit of NHAI/REC bonds is 50 lakhs in a Fin year.

2) Within six months of selling an asset one should buy these bonds. In these six months the gains part should be kept in CGA account of any Nationalised bank.

3) Int from these bonds are taxable.

4) Investing in these bonds itself means no need to buy any other asset.

5) Only individual or HUF can avail this benefit

 

In my opinion, it is not compulsory at all.

Yes, the redemption proceeds of 54EC bonds is completely taxfree (except interest earned annually), and hence no need for any secondary investment for exemption u/s. 54/54F
