I dont want to purchase a new House but will invest 50L in Capital gains bond within six months.

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether opening a Capital Gains account is mandatory after selling a property. It explains that it's not compulsory unless you intend to claim an exemption under Section 54 of the IT Act. The conversation also touches upon TDS deductions on property sales and how they reflect in your tax accounts.

No, unless you wish to get exemption under sec. 54 IT act, no need to deposit the amount in CG sav acc.

Not mandatory but there are other options

Thanks Rambhia sahab

Most welcome.              

The Buyer has deducted 1% TDS and paid online under minor head 800 (TDS OF SALE OF PROPERTY).

Whether it will reflect directly in my account or CA has to connect that TDS to my PAN?

 

Form 26QB is an internet based PAN challan( minor head 800) containing details of buyer, Seller, property being sold, sale consideration, tax deposit details etc.

So, if seller's pan is correctly filled in form 26QB, it will definately reflect in your AIS & form 26AS. Ask buyer to issue TDS deducted certificate, i.e Form 16B.
