The assessee can avail exemption u/s 54 or u/s 54EC.
Section 54 deals with exemption from long term capital gain if the capital gain is invested in a residential property.
Section 54EC deals with exemption from long term capital gain if the capital gain is invested in specified bonds.
The assessee should first decide where he wants to invest the money.
If he wants to invest in residential house property then he has to invest the same within 3 years. However, if the amount is not invested by the due date of filing the return, the amount should be deposited in a capital gain account scheme.
If he wants to invest in bonds, the amount is to be invested within 6 months from the date of sale.

To avail the benefit of Section 54, residential property has to be purchased within 3 years.
If he has no plans to purchase a property then he should invest in bonds. Once you invest in bonds, there is no need to purchase a residential property.
