Sai TejaDate of transfer 15th March 2020(F.Y 2019-20) Date of deposit 15th August 2020 (F.Y 2020-21) Date of purchase 15th April 2021(F.Y 2021-2022) For which F. Y is he eligible for deduction??
A taxpayer who is unable to re-invest capital gains in the specified investment before furnishing the return of income and specified time limit for the investment has not expired, is required to deposit such unutilised capital gain in the capital gains account before furnishing return of income but not beyond the due date for furnishing return of income. The deposit into the CG Account Scheme should be before filing return for one to claim in year of transfer, it need not be in the same PY. In the given case , transfer is in PY 2019-20, but amount deposited within 6 months and before furnishing return so assessee can claim in PY 2019-20 and since the amount is utilised for purchase within 2 years from date of transfer there is no further liability
