No, the exemption relates only to house property and does not apply in case of sale of an open plot.

Alternatively an individual or Hindu Undivided Family can claim exemption under section 54F only if the capital asset which is transferred is a lng term capital asset but other than a residential house property, for instance it may be a plot of land.
