I sold my house in Nov 2011 for Rs. 15 lac. I am intending to purchase a new house by latest June 2011, i.e next Financial year. What should I do save capital gain on this transaction. May I deposit the amount of capital gain of Rs. 3 lac in Cap Gain A/c or not?

To take the advantage of Sec. 54, you should deposit the money before due date of filing of return into capital gain tax scheme. But as you are intending to purchase the new house before that only, there arise no question of depositing the same into the capital gain account.
