You are first required to compute the LTCG. Only the LTCG and not the total sale consideration is to be reinvested. You may invest in bonds u/s 54EC. If you are in need of some money, you may have the agreement value matching the stamp value, and you may take the difference between agreement value and actual sale value in cash.
 

i agree with above answer.
