hi to everyone,
I want to know that Saving A/C and capital gain A/C are one and the same .
If not then the balance should be invested in capital gain a/c in order to gain exemption u/s 54 .
@ Narendra:
They are both different... You will know more details at any branch of SBI...
hi shivang,
I want to mention that all person above has said to invest in sb a/c instead of capital gain a/c .
According to IT act , capital gain a/c is mentioned to invest in order to claim exemption.
