Looks like you have sold an agricultural land, that's the reason why your auditor has suggested you to invest in another agricultural land (54B) or a residential property (54F).

  1. You can buy a residential plot but you will have to construct a house on it within three years of sale of old property.
  2. If new building you have selected comes under residential area by municipal regulations, then you can consider buying that. Registration of this property should also show it as a residential premise.
