As per section 54E exemption for Investment in NHAI bonds is restricted to 50. but it should be made withing 6 six months from the date of transfer or date for filling ROI whichever is early. however, in this case investment can be made upto rs 22.06 lacks to avoid tax.

Costo of acquisition is โ‚น 16.43 lak so index cost is 16.43*1125/551=33.55 laks is less from sale proceeds i.e โ‚น55.6 laks so ltcg isโ‚น 22.05 laks. This amt can be invested in NHAI bonds within 6 months of selling. But the intt amount on these bonds is taxable.
