Quick Summary
If you've withdrawn funds from a Capital Gains Account Scheme (CGAS) within three years of claiming an exemption under Section 54F, and the withdrawal isn't for the specified purpose, the tax exemption you received will be withdrawn. The amount that would have been taxable had you not claimed the exemption will now be taxed as Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG) in the year you withdrew the funds from CGAS.

As per the proviso placed below the said Section,

The difference between the Amount of Capital gain that arises by the transfer and the amount that would have been exempted had if it would be utilized for the said purpose, would  be taxable in the previous year in which the period of three years expires from the date of transfer of original asset 

 

The whole of the LTCG deduction under 54F you obtained earlier will stand withdrawn and it will be taxed as LTCG in the year in which CGAS money withdrawn .
