Section 54EC is allowed in case the transferred asset is a long term asset being Land, Building or Both.
The section is not applicable when the consideration is received from transfer of long term capital asset being a jewellary i.e Gold.
I think the deduction cannot be claimed u/s 54EC if you invest the money in NHAI / RECL Bonds.
