I have purchased a flat in Feb 2004 for 105000 .
I have spend close to one lakh in repair works ( 50000 in 2004 , 50000 in 2009) – I do not have bills
I sold the flat in feb 2015 for 4800000.

1. One relevant condition of investment is
The investor/seller should use the funds from capital gain to purchase a new residential house within 1 year before or 2 years after the transfer date (sale/transfer of the original property).
As your house purchase wasmore than 1 year, this condition will not apply and your pre payment of loan will not be saving CG for you.
2. There are 2 ways of saving CG.
a. Buy a new house or flat. If done, the house should be held for at least 3 years else CG exemption will have to be surrendered. If the transaction is not done immediately, the money is to be parked in CG account in a recognised bank.
b. Investing sale proceeds in Bond(NHAI etc). These will be locked in for 3 years. Interest on the investment is taxable in the hands of the investor.
One can choose the option of one’ choice.
Trust I answered your question.
