Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the rules around capital gains tax exemption when selling land and using the proceeds to repay a home loan. It highlights that under Section 54F, exemption requires investing in a residential property within specific timeframes (1 year before or 2 years after the sale), making direct loan repayment from land sale proceeds ineligible for exemption. The conversation also touches upon the relevance of circle rates in capital gains calculations, noting that the higher of the sale consideration or circle rate (with a small margin) is used for tax purposes.

Section 54F says that it is compulsory that investment in residential house property is made within a period of 1 year before or 2 years after the date of transfer. So No tax exemption is available in your case.
Suppose it is 2yrs in place of 3yrs.What will be the answer ?
If 2 years....than..Not possible
Yes,if it's 1 year than you can.
Agree with Mr. Sagar Patel
Now a days for computation of Tax on long term capital gain on sale of property, Circle rate is material.
what if the property is sold at twice the rate of circle rate? For Tax purposes Circle rate will be considered of Sales proceeds.
For Computation of Long term Capital Gain
Circle rate or Sale consideration receipt, whichever is higher is taken as sale proceeds.
Subject to 5%/ 10% margin as allowed u/s 50C /43CA.

So, if property is sold at twice the rate of circle rate, than Sales receipt is considered as sale proceeds for LTCG calculation, not circle rate.
