If you've sold a house and invested the proceeds in an open plot, you may be eligible for capital gains tax deduction under Section 54 of the IT Act, 1961. However, this exemption is typically only available if you plan to construct a new house on the plot within three years of the original sale. The specifics of your investment, including joint ownership and loans, will need to be considered.
