1. It is wrong to say that the assessee has claimed exemption under any section. To claim exemption you need to file return (unless specifically exempted from filing tax return) unless you file the tax return.
2. nevertheless, given that you have utilized the capital gains for construction of a new property, even if the income-tax department issues you a notice for non-filing of return, there is a good chance that you will be able to get the benefit of exemption.
3. However, they will levy penalty for non-filing of the return.
4. I cannot comment upon the absence of plan approval, but it would pertinent that you have the documents to prove the construction expense.
