Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies eligibility for a Section 54F tax rebate following a land sale. The user sold land in December 2020 and reinvested a portion into a plot to claim the rebate. The advice confirms that the entire sale amount can be claimed as a deduction, provided the uninvested balance is deposited into a Capital Gains Deposit Account before filing the tax return. Construction on the new plot must commence within the stipulated timeframe, with three years allowed for completion.

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.

You have 3 years to complete the construction. but you must deposit the uninvested account with the bank as suggested by dhirajlal.
