I sold my old residential Flat in October 2017, date of registry being 18-October-2017. I made a Long-term Capital Gain of Rs 6.69 Lakhs from the sale. Thereafter I also purchased a new residential Flat in March 2018, date of registry being 07-March-2018. I bought the Flat for Rs 11 Lakhs. I will be claiming deduction under Section 54 against my capital gains for FY 2017-18 (AY 2018-19) in Schedule CG of Form ITR-2. Schedule CG of the new ITR-2 for AY 2018-19 asks for the ‘Date of transfer of original asset’, ‘Cost of new residential house’ and ‘Date of purchase/construction of new residential house’ in case of deduction claimed under section 54. I have the following 3 questions: Q1. Will it be CORRECT if for the ‘Date of transfer of original asset’, I enter the date 18-October-2017 ? Q2. Will it be CORRECT if for the ‘Cost of new residential house’, I enter Rs. 11 Lakhs ? Q3. Will it be CORRECT if for the ‘Date of purchase/construction of new residential house’, I enter the date 07-March-2018 ?
