In case of individual, for residential house sold after 23rd July 2024, whether capital gain calculated with indexed cost of acquisition can be invested in residential house to claim exemption u/s 54?

For example, a property is sold for Rs. 1 crore in October 2024.

Its Cost of Acquisition is 25 lacs.

Indexed Cost of Acquisition is 70 Lacs.

The seller can invest Rs. 30 lacs (100-70) to claim full exemption on tax?

or is he required to invest full 75 lacs(100-25) to claim full exemption on tax?
