21 September 2012 If the payment for the new flat purchased has been made till July 31,2012(assuming that the person is not liable for audit u/s 44AB), then the exemption can be availed.
However, if the amount has not been fully paid for the flat so purchased, then the exemption of the unpaid amount can be availed only if such amount has been deposited in Bank A/c in accordance with CG A/c Scheme.
