Dear Vikas Sir,
Sec 54 B - requires assessee to deposit the amount of CAPITAL GAIN
Sec 54 F - requires assessee to deposit NET CONSIDERATION
Literal reading says that above amounts should be deposited before the due date of furnishing return u/s 139.
Since in this case the above condition is not fulfilled therefore exemption will not be allowed.
We have so many examples of similar hardships- eg - employee retired in March & his Gratuity becomes due in March itself However the same is received by him in April, now in this case employee is not entiteled to the exemption u/s 10
