Sir, I sold a house in Feb 2017. Out of the sale proceeds I bought a second hand flat in Feb 2017. Am I allowed to invest further from the balance sale proceeds in a land to avoid capital gain tax? Kindly advise. Thanks Regards S Karthik

First of all sold house should be long term to avail deduction u/s 54, capital gain
If investment amount is less than capital gain amount then you can further purchase Bonds notified by Govt.(REC,NHAI) within 6 months of purchase. Exemption maximum upto Rs.50,00,000. i.e. further deduction u/s 54EC
As per my knowledge you can not get tax benefit on capital gain for further investment in land.
