We got her father's property amount 20Lakhs and we purchased land in that amount for that amount we should pay tax

Ans: Your Question needs more details to be replied specifically. However, please note the following points :
01. If you have received an amount of Rs.20.00 (L) from your wife's parents (may be in cash or through banking channels), it is a Gift to you or to your wife from her parents, hence not Taxable.
02. If the property is first transferred to your wife & she sells the same, it would be subject to Long/Short Term Capital Gain.
03. If it is LTCG, you may claim exemption u/s 54, provided you purchase or construct a house, with in one year before or three years (for constructed & two years for purchased) after the sale of property.
04. You should construct a residential house on the land/plot you have purchased, with in specified time limits to get the exemption.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.
