It is a risky affair. Do not go in uncertainties. . The Govt Clearances are not as time bound as the provisions of Section 54F are. . Here, delay costs 20% Tax+ Interest for a delay of a single day. . It's better to wait for the clearances. Meantime the money may be deposited in Capital Gains Accounts (if you are talking about FY 2011-12 transfer) to keep opened the alternative options. .
