ALSO HE DEPOSITED THE WHOLE OF SALE CONSIDERATION IN CGAS IN THE FY 17-18.AND AS ON 31ST MARCH 2018, THERE IS SOME BALANCE IN THE CGAS  NOW, WHILE FILING ITR2, HOW TO SHOW THE EXPS INCURED FROM APRIL 2018 AND WHETHER THE 31ST MARCH 2018 BALANCE IN CGAS IS TO BE TAKEN TO CALCULATE LTCG.

you can utilise the amount deposited in capital gains account within 2 years of sale of property to avail the benefits under Sections 54, 54EC and 54F. If this is not done, the unutilised amount will be subject to capital gains tax in the fiscal in which the deadline ends.

TNX for the clarification sir,

its clear that the amt in CGA totally exempted for 2 yrears, THEN,  do i need to show the balance of around 9lacs (balance as on 31.3.18 in CGS) in the ITR 2,. if i show this amt, it is also getting autosumed as LTCG(IN total taxable income) along with the net LTCG ON IMMOVABLE PROPERTY OF RS.25LACS. SO THE TOTAL TAXABLE INCOME IS INCREASED BY 9 LACS.

KINDLY GUIDE.TNX

 

 

you don't need to show unutilised balance in CGA till the expiry of two year.

FN, TNX FOR THE REPLY SIR

YET, IN THE ITR2 form, its insisting to enter  both the utilized and unutilized part  of capital gain while validating the sheet.
