Hello,

X sells a residential property and deposits the capital gains in the CG A/c with the notified bank.

I understand that X gets 2/3 years for utilizing the amount for the pupose of construction or acquisition of a new property as the case may be.

If the person fails to obtain the property the person has to pay tax in the year the time limit is over.

Will X have to pay any penal interest for delaying the tax liability.

Regards
