I have sold my house and deposited gain amount in capital gain account scheme to claim benefit U/s 54. After completing 2 and 1/2 yr I have doubt that I can use funds for construction of new house. Can I withdraw money to invest in bonds and can i claim benefit U/s 54EC?

You can withdraw amount by filling form E and getting sanction from appropriate ITO. Recently many courts have taken a liberal view that 54EC investments can be made even after a period of 6 months. See if you like to take CHANCE. (Chance taker is always regarded as accident maker)
