Sec 54H : Extension of time limit for acquiring new asset or depositing or investing amount of capital gain, in case of compulsory acquisition.

Extension of time for capital gains reinvestment: deadlines run from receipt of compensation in compulsory acquisition cases, easing compliance.

Where an asset is compulsorily acquired, the period for acquiring a replacement asset or for depositing/investing capital gain amounts is to be reckoned from the date of receipt of compensation rather than the date of transfer; deposits under the Capital Gains Accounts Scheme may be made in the previous year in which compensation is received or until the due date for filing that year's return; the extension is not available for certain excluded exemption provisions.
