Quick Summary
If you've sold a residential property and deposited the capital gain into a Capital Gains Account Scheme (CGAS) but haven't used it, it will become taxable. The funds must be used for purchasing a new property within two years or for construction within three years from the sale date. If not utilised within these periods, the amount becomes taxable in the third year following the deposit.

As per Sec 54, If amount is deposited in CG deposit scheme, it should be used for

1. PURCHASE of residential property within 2 yrs from the date of transfer i.e before 12.02.2020 or

2. CONSTRUCTION of residential property within 3 yrs from date of transfer i.e before 12.02.2021

In case if such amount is not used, maximum u can postpone or avoid tax for 3 years. It must be taxable in 3rd year. Here in ur case 3 years from 12.02.2018 will be completed on 12/02/2021. So it will be taxable in FY 2020-21 or AY 21-22
Agree with Naveen

Right. it will be taxable in the FY in which period of 3 years expire.
