Receipts won't be mandatory and you may compute long term capital gains based on gold prices on purchase date.

Income tax can be saved on long term capital gains by investing into new house property u/s 54F.

Following conditions have to be fulfilled:

  1. Possession of new property must be taken within two years from sale of gold assets. Or new house can be constructed within three years of sale.
  2. You should not be owning more than one residential house(flat/house/apartment) at the time of buying new property.
  3. If total residential houses owned by you is two (including new property), you should not buy another one within next three years of purchase. Or in next three years, total owned residential houses should not be more than two.
  4. New property should not be sold before next three years.
