Quoting the exact portion of sec 54ec relevant to the query-

capital asset of the previous year in which the long-term specified asset is transferred or converted (otherwise than by transfer) into money.
Explanation.In a case where the original asset is transferred and the assessee invests the whole or any part of the capital gain received or accrued as a result of transfer of the original asset in any long-term specified asset and such assessee takes any loan or advance on the security of such specified asset, he shall be deemed to have converted (otherwise than by transfer) such specified asset into money on thedate on which such loan or advance is taken'
