Caluclate the long term capital gain by taking the value of gold as on 2001-02

Yes u can invest in 54ec

Section 54EC is allowed in case the transferred asset is a long term asset being Land, Building or Both.

The section is not applicable when the consideration is received from transfer of long term capital asset being a jewellary i.e Gold.

I think the deduction cannot be claimed u/s 54EC if you invest the money in NHAI / RECL Bonds. 

w. e. f. 01.04.2018 exemption under section 54EC restricting its scope only to capital gains arising from long-term capital assets, being land or building or both.
So LTCG on sale of gold is taxable @ 20% with no exemption u/s 54EC.

Thanks for updating...

Thk you all for your inputs.
