Asked 4 years ago in Capital Gains Tax

Hi

 

In case amount of capital gains are not invested till due date of return filing of the year of sale, you are required to deposit the same in CGDS account. Till that time, you may invest elsewhere.

 

Further, clubbing provisions shall apply on such income earned through funds contributed by you and it will become taxable in your hands only.

1. If you don't invest the fund before filing ITR capital gain shall be taxed.

2. If you gift it to your wife or son and earn profit that profit will be still taxed in your hand.

 

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

Thank you

If you have to save on capital gain tax, you will have to deposit the funds in Capital gain account scheme within 6 months from date of sale.In case you use it in any other manner you will have to pay capital gain tax on the amount of capital gains.

Even if you divert the funds the income from it will also be clubbed in your income.

Hello,

 

For capital gain exemption, you are required to either invest or deposit the amount in CG saving account before the due date of filing of the income tax return. Till that time, you can use these funds.

Clubbing provisions would be applicable in case of income generated through the usage of these funds.

I hope this answer satisfies your requirements.

Dear Sir,

 

Hope you are doing well !!

 

-If you do not get a chance to invest in a profitable property immediately and still want to save your long-term gains from being taxed, you can invest your capital gains in CGDAS by approaching any public sector bank. The timeframe for the purchase or construction of the property remains unchanged in this case as well. But you can utilise this account momentarily so that you save your gains from being taxed and have more time to finalise a property for reinvestment.

                                                                                    

It is required to deposit such unutilised capital gain in the capital gains account before furnishing return of income but not beyond due date for furnishing return of income.

 

Normally, the due date of filing Income Tax return is July 31 for the previous Financial Year. Under extraordinary circumstances, it can be extended by the Finance Ministry

 

-Clubbing provision will be applicable on the same.

The income earned shall be taxable in your hands only.
