Capital gain on sale of land

sold a land in the year 2013-14 , but not received land value and hence not filed ITR during 2013-14. Same amount received now during 2019-20. How to disclose the same now filing ITR and is there any penalty for disclosing the same now?

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies how to handle capital gains tax when the sale of land occurred in one financial year (2013-14) but payment was received in a later year (2019-20). The advice given is that capital gains tax is typically due in the year of the actual transfer of ownership. Since payment was received in 2019-20, this is considered the year of transfer, meaning the capital gains tax should be declared and paid in the Assessment Year 2020-21 by filing an Income Tax Return (ITR) for that period.

Hello!,,

Capital gain arising on sale of a capital asset (Land in your case ) will be taxed in the year where actual sale took place.Since in your case though the land was transferred in 13/14 but the consideration received in the FY 19/20 so we can say that actual transfer took place in 19/20 since the title of the property transferred to the recipient in the said year.So agreement date will be immaterial here, so u can pay the capital gain tax in the AY 2020-21 only by filing the ITR.
Thank you soo much for the convincing reply sir🙏
