• Capital gain account money utilization

I put my money in capital gain account scheme. In account type A. After two years if I using capital for construction of residential house by buying plot. It is necessary to shift from account A to account B because 2 years passed. If I keep money in type A any tax issues will arise ?
Asked 5 years ago in Capital Gains Tax

I think there will be some issues because government has made two seperate specific type of account for different purposes. So you need to keep the money in which it needs to be.

Initially I think there will be no problem but if an assessing officer opens your case then I feel there will be a problem. So it's better to shift your money to type B account.

Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.

Thank you

Hi,

- Type A is saving account and Type B is Term deposit account. There is no need to transfer from type A to type B after 2 years. In both the accounts, period of 3 years is available for exemption purpose.

Hi,

No, it is not necessary to shift from account A to account B.

You can keep money in type A without any tax issues.

Hi

There is no need to shift money from account A to B.

In simple language, Deposit Account A is like your savings account and Deposit Account B is similar to Fixed Deposit/Term Deposit. You will receive interest equivalent to savings account interest on Account A i.e. 4% p.a. Similarly, an interest rate of Account B is same as Fixed Deposit Interest rate depending on the maturity.

Hi,

You don't need to shift your money from type A account to type B account. There is no such rule that after two years, you will have to shift the money

Hi,

You don't need to shift your money from type A account to type B account. I am not aware of any such condition whereby after 2 years you need to transfer from one account to the other.

Nikhil.

Yes you can do that but you need to transfer your money from type A Account to type B and the construction should complete within 3 years from the date of sale.

Yes, you can do so but the construction should be completed in that (third year) itself.

You should get your hosue constructed within 3 years from the date of sale of old house. That's the key.
