CGAS Deposit Rules for Section 54 and Section 54F
If you sell a property and want to save capital gains tax under Section 54 or Section 54F, you may need to deposit the capital gains amount in the Capital Gains Account Scheme (CGAS).
The CGAS Deposit Calculator by CA Shiwali helps you estimate the amount that should be deposited in the Capital Gains Account Scheme when you cannot immediately invest in another property.
This calculator is useful for:
• Property sellers planning Section 54 exemption
• Taxpayers filing ITR before reinvestment
• Individuals planning capital gains tax saving
Use the calculator below to estimate your CGAS deposit requirement.

It calculates:
✔ Capital gain from property sale
✔ Amount already invested in new property
✔ Remaining amount that should be deposited in CGAS
This helps taxpayers claim exemption under Section 54
or Section 54F.
If you are reinvesting the capital gains from a property sale into another residential property, you may claim exemption under Section 54 of the Income Tax Act.
See our complete guide on Section 54 & Section 54F capital gains exemption on property sale to understand eligibility conditions and tax planning strategies.
Suppose:
Sale price = ₹80,00,000
Indexed cost = ₹30,00,000
Improvement cost = ₹5,00,000
Expenses = ₹1,00,000
Capital gain:
80,00,000 – 36,00,000
= ₹44,00,000
If you already invested:
₹20,00,000 in a new house
Remaining amount for CGAS deposit:
44,00,000 – 20,00,000
= ₹24,00,000
