Enquiry about Capital Gain Account

Last month, I sold a 15-year old property and planning to purchase a residential property next financial year. 
Is it mandatory to move the fund to a "Capital Gain Account" before 31st March to get the tax exception?

Quick Summary
If you've sold a property and plan to buy another, you might be eligible for tax exemption under Section 54. To claim this, you must deposit your capital gains into a Capital Gains Account Scheme. This needs to be done by the Income Tax Return (ITR) filing due date, which is typically 31st July, to avail the deduction.

Capital gain has to be invested in a Capital Gain Account scheme before the due date of filing IT Return to avail deduction u/s 54
