Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether a 40-year lease on a new property, paid for upfront with a lump sum, qualifies for the Section 54 exemption on capital gains from a previous house sale. The consensus suggests that the upfront lease payment can be considered the cost of the new asset for exemption purposes, provided the lease term is sufficiently long and meets other criteria.

What is the lease period?

40 years

Yes, you can claim the exemption.

In such case, What value should be considered for cost of new asset for calculating exemption u/s 54 or 54F? 

As the total payment to be made in your case is 40 lakhs, so that can be considered as cost of investment .
