Its a Long term Captial Gain on sale of Residential House property , it is taxable @ 20% , to get exemption from LTCG the sale consideration amount received should be deposited in a Schedule bank in Captial gains Scheme A/c with in 6 months from the date of sale of Asset , other wise it is fully taxable amount .

In case of resident person

In case of resident indian it is Fully taxable as LTCG @ 20%

To get Exemption the amt should be deposited in a Captial gains Scheme a/c in a Schedule Bank and from that a/c only the Person should Draw the amount and Purchase the another Residential House property with in 3 Yrs either construct or Purchase should be done with in 3 yrs from the date of sale .

Show the Certificate at the time of Filling the return as the Sale consideration is deposited in a Captial gains a/c as a proof

certainly there is a gain and that is long-term gain. to claim exemption the options are;

1.purchase a residentail house 1 year before the date of sale or 2 years from the date of sale or construct a residentail house within 3 years from the date of sale

2.under section 54F- invest the gain amount only in specified bonds having a lock in period of 3 years like bonds issued by RECL, NHAI etc.
