It will depend on the asset sold, whether it was ltca or stca, as the case may be..

So if asset sold was stca then wat is the implication? Also if it was ltca then wat wil be the implication?

Sec 54 & 54f exempts only LTCG so in that case amt not utilised wld b ltcg.

So if exemption is claimed of stcg then even in amt invested being stcg yet the unused amt in CAGS Account wil be taxable as ltcg?

Sec 54 B deals with the transfer of agricultural land used for 2 years or more, so in that case stcg or ltcg are exempt according to the case . So if the gain is stcg & amt not utilsed within time period then it will be taxed as stcg.

But Sec 54 & 54 F deals only with LTCG so in that case any amt deposited in CGAS & not utilised in the time period will be taxable as LTCG. For stcg no exemption of 54 & 54F.
