Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the deadline for capital gains tax investment benefits. It explains that the time limit to open a Capital Gains Deposit Account extends to the Income Tax Return (ITR) filing due date, which for AY21-22 is 30th September, not 31st July. This means investments made in April can still qualify for benefits if the account is opened before the ITR due date. Rule 4(4) of the Capital Gains Accounts Scheme, 1988, provides further guidance.
Time limit to open CG deposit account would the up to the due date of filing of ITR. So account can be opened anytime before the due date of filing of ITR (for AY21-22 due date is 30th Sep instead of 31st July)
