Sold Property But Haven't Bought a New One Yet? Use Capital Gain Account Scheme (CGAS) to Save Tax (2026 Guide)

Property bech diya lekin nayi property abhi tak nahi kharidi? Bahut se log Section 54 ke under tax exemption claim karne ke liye nayi ghar kharidne ka time limit miss kar dete hain aur poora capital gain tax dena padta hai।

Lekin aap tension na lein। Government ne ek special provision diya hai — **Capital Gain Account Scheme (CGAS)** — jiske through aap apna capital gain tax temporarily save kar sakte hain aur baad mein nayi property kharid sakte hain।

Capital Gain Account Scheme (CGAS) Kya Hai?

CGAS ek government approved scheme hai jo 1988 se chal rahi hai। Isme aap apne capital gain amount ko temporarily bank account mein deposit kar sakte hain taaki Section 54 ke under tax exemption claim kar sakein, bhale hi aapne abhi tak nayi property na kharidi ho।

CGAS ke Mukhya Features (2026):

  • Section 54 exemption claim karne ke liye time limit extend karne ka option
  • Capital gain amount ko safe rakhta hai
  • Do tarah ke accounts hain: Type A (Savings) aur Type B (Fixed Deposit)
  • Interest bhi milta hai account mein
  • Baad mein nayi property kharidne par exemption claim kar sakte hain

CGAS Kab Use Karna Chahiye?

Aapko CGAS use karna chahiye agar:

  • Aapne property bech di hai lekin 2 saal ke andar nayi residential property nahi kharid paaye
  • Section 54 ke under exemption claim karna chahte hain
  • Capital gain tax bachana chahte hain
  • Construction ke liye time chahiye (3 saal tak)

Important: CGAS sirf temporary solution hai। Aapko ultimately nayi property kharidni ya construct karni padegi exemption ke liye।

CGAS Ke Account Types

  • Type A Account (Savings Account): Normal savings account jisme aap paise jama kar sakte hain aur zaroorat padne par withdraw kar sakte hain
  • Type B Account (Fixed Deposit): Fixed period ke liye deposit jisme higher interest milta hai lekin time se pehle withdraw karna mushkil hota hai

Zyadatar log Type A account choose karte hain kyunki flexibility zyada hoti hai।

CGAS Kaise Open Karein? Step-by-Step Process

  1. Authorized bank (SBI, PNB, Canara Bank, Bank of Baroda etc.) mein jaayein
  2. CGAS application form bharo
  3. PAN card aur property sale documents submit karo
  4. Capital gain amount deposit karo
  5. Account number aur details ITR mein mention karo

Common Mistakes Jo Log Karte Hain

  • Time limit miss karna aur CGAS na kholna
  • Galat account type choose karna
  • Deposit ke baad sahi tarike se ITR mein claim na karna
  • Lock-in period ke rules ko ignore karna
  • CGAS se paise withdraw karne ke rules na samajhna

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Bank ke normal savings ya FD rate ke hisaab se interest milta hai।

Conclusion
