Your answer to question 6(a) is wrong.Exemption under section 54EC is availabe only upto a maximum of Rs.50 lakhs.The answer will be different in such a case
ram is right
section 54ec imposes limit on financial year basis |

The maximum amount that a person can invest in these bonds (NHAI and REC combined) in any financial year is Rs 50 lakh. If a person has long-term capital gains which have accrued to him after 1 October of any year, and the amount of capital gains exceed Rs 50 lakh, he can split his investment by investing Rs 50 lakh up to 31 March of the following year and the balance on 1 April of that year. The balance amount in this case, however, should not exceed Rs 50 lakh. By doing this, he can have the benefit of investment of up to Rs 1 crore. Joint applications shall also be included for the purposes of this limit.

But in question they asked that find taxable income for A.Y. 2010-11 . So even though she can claim a who deduction of 1 crore (50 lacs + 50 lacs) , for A.Y 2010 - 11 she can claim only 50 lacs as deduction u/s 54EC
Plz correct me if I am Wrong.
