Yes, You can claim entire amount of Rs.40 lakhs as deduction u/s. 54F, provided you deposit the balance amount into Capital gain deposit account of any scheduled bank, before filing the return for AY. 2021-22. The deposited amount should be used in the construction of residential house, over the said plot.
P.S. Assuming all other conditions of the section are fulfilled.
