Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether an assessee can claim Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG) exemption under Section 54 for non-agricultural land if they missed filing their Income Tax Return (ITR) on time. While generally, funds need to be parked in a Capital Gains Account Scheme (CGAS) before the ITR filing deadline, there's some debate about claiming exemptions with belated or updated returns. Case laws might support assessees in certain situations, but it could lead to appeals at higher authorities.

No. Not eligible now.       

And for a y. 2022-23 in same case

Only possible, if parked the sale consideration in CGAS account before 31.07.2022.

Not open CGAS ,,, but for individual assessee exemption under 54 is also available in case of belated ITR as per my little knowledge,,,,,,, But in case of ITR U I am still confused

It is trivial issue. The exemption u/s. 54F is available if you have parked the funds in the CG sav acc before the ITR filing date u/s. 139(1) IT act. 

There are case laws favouring assesees when the compliece was not fulfilled, but for that you may have to appeal with higher authorit/ies. At ITO level you may be denied the exemption.

But In ITR I have to show only exemption under 54 , no disclosure about CGAS ,

Yes, Only final figures are filled, based on your calculation/s, details of which can be asked by ITD at any time before its processing.
