Capital Gain

This query is : Resolved 

17 March 2010 Hi.. Can anyone help in the following case?

Assessee has sold Residential house on which LTCG is applicable.
Now from the sale proceeds of this house, he wants to construct additional floor on his existing house.
But construction will take more than 1 year... so is the assessee required to transfer the sale proceeds to Capital Gain account scheme?

Also if after indexation, if there is no LTCG, then also is assesse required to transfer the money to Captal Gain A/c scheme?

Please advice....

17 March 2010 1.For the Construction of New house or addtion the limit is 3 years and not one year. However for this period you have to deposit the amount into Capital Gain Account.

2.If after Indexation, there is no Capital Gain, i.e. no amount is taxable in the hands of Assessee. As there is no taxable gain is there, the sales proceeds are not required to be deposited in the Account.

17 March 2010 agree with expert
