Sir, As per Section 54 exemption on LTCG can be claimed only if the house property is purchased one year before the transfer took place.
In your case the another property is purchased 2 years ago before selling the inherited residential property. So I think that the exemption can't be claimed.
Mr Girdhar is right. No exemption is available for payment of loan for property acquired 2 year earlier than sale of original property which has been sold.
