Tax on sale of land

Sir,

     I have no proper house. I want to build a new house in a vacant land by selling another land in town limit. It is likely to fetch Rs.14 lakh. Is it taxable. If so can I avoid paying tax by putting some amount in bank fixed deposit. How much will I have to put in bank fixed deposit to avoid paying income tax. Please help.

If you sell a plot of land to construct a house, exemption can be claimed under Section 54F and the capital gains will get exempted from the levy of tax
