Yes you can invest...Just get the new house on your name

Since the land is owned by your wife. you can not take the exempion.

@ Saurabh....If I buy a Land on lease and on that lan I construct House...Will I get Exemption...? Reply with Related Provision of the ACT or CASE Law.

You can consider the land and the building as two seperate assets.  In that case, if the cost of construction is more than the capital gains, then there is no CG Tax.

By considering land and building seperatally, u can take benefit of exemption by investing in under construction building..
