17 April 2026 Yes, you can park the sale proceeds temporarily in an FD and then invest in 54EC bonds, provided the investment in eligible 54EC bonds is made within 6 months from the date of transfer of the property. The key condition is the timing of investment under section 54EC, not whether the money was briefly kept in FD. However, maintain proper fund trail and note that investment made before the date of transfer will not qualify. Also check the ₹50 lakh limit and 5-year lock-in.
