i suppose you have taken as the cost of acquisition the fair market value as on 01.04.1981.
Keeping that in mind, there would be LTCG of Rs. 8,40,000/- out of which 6,00,000/- was invested in new house property. In that case, Sec 54 exemption can be claimed. In it, proportionate amount of capital gains invested in new house shall be allowed as exemption. Rest amount shall be taxable @ 20% flat rate.
To save that, you can invest the balance amount in Cap Gains Account Scheme, but that would lock your money for the time specified. For the time being it would save you tax. Also, you can invest in Sec 54EC bonds within 6 months of the transfer.
