03 August 2012 Dear Expert,
Does the extension of last date for filing return of income give little time for doing the investment in residential property against capital gains on sale of residential house property till 31st Aug 2012?

Please clarify.

Thanks in advance.
Regards,

04 August 2012 the provision provides that If the assessee was not able to invest in the house property till the due date
Then to claim exemption and to invest in the future for Claiming exemption
The assessee can invest in the Capital Gain Account scheme
But if you have utilized the amount before the due date (or Extended due date )then you don’t need to invest in the Capital Gain Account Scheme
