I had sold some residential property in mid FY2022-23. I could not use the long term capital gains for purchase of any residential property before filing the returns for AY 2023-24 and deposited the capital gains in a Capital Gains Type A account.

I am still unable to use these funds for a suitable residential property.

Please advise how do you report this fully unspent capital gains in the return filing oin AY2024-25.

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses how an individual taxpayer should report unspent long-term capital gains deposited in a Capital Gains Account Type A for AY2024-25. The consensus is that if you still intend to purchase a residential property within the allowed timeframe (2-3 years), you do not need to explicitly show the unspent balance in your Income Tax Return (ITR). Only the interest earned on the capital gains account should be reported.

Thanks for writing.

But you , maybe, did not understand my query.

I want to know how to report in forthcoming return filing the unspent money in my Capital Gains account. If you can throw some light , I will appreciate it.
