30 September 2008 Assessee sold an asset on 25th March 2008 and booked long term capital gain of Rs 5 lac.

As per Section 54EC to claim exemption he needs to invest Rs 5 lac in NHAI/REC bonds within 6 months i.e. before 25th Sept 2008.

But he needs to file his return by 31st July. So can he open Capital gain A/c in July'08 and deposit that 5 lac for time being? Subsequently in Sept'08 he will invest that 5 lac in stated bonds.

I am asking this because I heard - to claim exemption u/s 54EC, assessee doesnt have the option to open Capital gain A/c. He has to compulsorily invest it in stated bonds before the due date of filing return.
