CGAS 54F - what should be marked as residential house purchase date and amount
Hi everyone,
I sold LTCG mutual funds and parked the net consideration in a Capital Gains Account Scheme (CGAS) to claim exemption under Section 54F. I plan to buy or construct a house within the next 2–3 years.
While filing my ITR, the form asks for:
-
Date of purchase/construction of the new residential house
-
Cost of the new residential house
Since I haven't bought or built the house yet, I don't know the exact date or final cost. How should I fill these two fields in the e-filing portal when claiming via CGAS?
Other fields are which I have filled:
-
Date of transfer of original asset - I have filled the date I have redeemed the MF
-
Amount deposited in CGAS before due date - I have filled the total net considered which I have deposited in CGAS
-
Date of deposit - date when amount was deposited in CGAS
-
accout number - CGAS account number
-
IFSC code
8)Amount of deduction claimed - capital gains amount
Thanks in advance!
