Last date for depositing into CGAS

I sold a property in April 2023. I have opened a CGAS (Capital Gains Account Scheme) under 54E in April 2023 (after the date of sale).
How many months do I have to deposit the sale amount into CGAS?
I will be filing a tax return in June 2024 (for the AY 2023-2024).

Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the deadline for depositing funds into a Capital Gains Account Scheme (CGAS) under section 54E. The user sold a property in April 2023 and opened a CGAS account shortly after. The key question is how many months they have to deposit the sale amount. The consensus is that the deposit must be made on or before filing the Income Tax Return under section 139(1).

It's not like that .

Thanks for the response. 
Yes, I am planning to deposit entire capital gains into the CGAS account.

Is there a last date for doing this? I read somewhere that the amount should be deposited before
July end of the assessment year.
