Tax on unutilized LTCG from property

Saurabh Chaudhary (3 Points)

17 September 2021  

For the capital gain generated through sale.of plot in Aug2018, long term capital gain account was opened with a nationalized bank and exemption was sought under section 54 for purchasing or constructing another a new house. But due to covid the amount remained unutilized and 3 years of exemption got over in Aug 2021. My query is that the unutilized gain will be treated as income for FY 21-22 or for the FY 18-19, since it was generated at that time and do we.need to pay interest as well on the income tax incase it is treated as income from FY18-19. Or do we just need to pay LTCG tax of 20 percent considering it as income in FY 21-22.

PLS HELP
