The Capital Gain will be attracted in this case.
You can claim benefit of depositing amount in CGAS only if the caital gain is in nature of LONG TERM.
The amount should be invested in a ‘Capital Gains Account Scheme’ under the Capital Gains Account Scheme, 1988. The scheme is applicable to all assessees having capital gains. The deposits may be made in one lump sum or in installments at any time. The amount should be deposited before the due date for filing income tax returns
i.e you can deposit amount on or before 31/07/2016.

You can not deposit money in Bonds as the bonds has to be purchased within 6months from the date of transfer.
And the same period has elapsed in your case.

You can not purchase bond at all.
No other way to save tax except purchase a property.

Otherwise pay tax.
