1) As Mr Shammi Kumar has rightly said, you can only invest in a residential premises if you want to save capital gains

2) You should do so within the same financial year. Or else put the money in a separate bank account for that purpose; your bank will guide you. That is a capital gains account.

3) You can also invest the money in RBI approved bonds, where the money will have to lie for a minimum specified period, and can be withdrawn anytime before that if you want to go in for a residential house purchase.

Thanks
