Entire consideration kept in capital gain Account with psu bank. 54 F.4 month to remain to utilise capital gain if purchase new house or 1.4 month to construct new house.

First of all you are not eligible to claim deduction under section 54F as you own more than 1 residential property as on date of transfer of plot. so the entire capital gains realized on sale of plot is required to be taxed.

What is your capital gain?
If you can invest the entire amount of consideration in another property or construct another property or keep the entire amount in capital gain account scheme..

You can opt for 54EC deduction but that needs to be deposited within 6 months from the date of transfer. as of now, you don't have any choice except to pay tax

If the inherited property is of land, you can avail 54F deduction by investing the entire net sale consideration in residential property. if the inherited property is of residential property, you can avail 54 deduction by investing capital gains in another residential property.
else you can avail 54EC deduction by investing up-to 50 LAKSHMI in NHAI OR RECL BONDS for a lock in period of 5 years
