Hi one of land is on my mothers name and she is selling it. To avoid capital gain tax that amount need to be reinvested in other property within 2 years as I know. So is it possible if I buy a house on my name and she pay for it. Will capital gain tax applicable here? Or what other options are to avoid capital gain tax.

No. But it is not a legal query. Consult a local CA.

Purchase of property in your name, in my understanding, would not take take care of the mother's liability towards capital gains tax.
The viable option is that she purchase property in her name and subsequently gift or bequeath same, if she so chooses at her discretion.
