This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies the time limits for calculating and claiming Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG) on property sales. The key date for LTCG calculation is the property registration date, not the TDS deduction date. Furthermore, investments under Section 54EC must be made within six months of the sale date, which is the registration date, and not before filing the income tax return.

22 May 2023 You need to carry forward TDS claim to FY 2023-24 i.e AY 2024-25
Sale transaction date will be date of registration in April, 2023, effective date to claim long term capital gain.
