I have sold a residential unit on 2nd March 2020. My due date for investing in notified REC bonds for deduction u/s 54EC is 1st Sept 2020 as per IT Act.
Is my due date also eligible for extension of due date upto 30th Sep 2020 as per IT notification 35/2020 and 56/2020. If I invest in notified bond now but before 30th September 2029, whether I will be able to take tax exemption benefit??
Kindly advice as very few days remaining.

Section 54 deals with reinvestment of the long term Capital gain and the options to mitigate the tax liability. It is noticed that as per the notification, compliance dates of action falling due during the period commencing from20th March 2020 and ending 31stDecember 2020,on the part of the TAX PAYER as well as the authorities have been extended to 31st March 2021.
How ever there is a shorter period prescribed ie,30 th September 2020 for compliance of all ” action by the TAX PAYER ” which is in variance with the preamble of the notification.
In cases where the one year period before the transfer of the capital asset is to expire or expired after 20th March 2020 and the intended transfer could not take place even before 30th September 2020 which is said to be the extended date for compliance by the TAXPAYER, such taxpayers will be put to irreparable loss. Therefore in the interest of such TAXPAYER there should be adequate extention of time as per the notification with out limiting the time to 30th September.2020 ,thus enabling the said taxpayer’s to comply with the stipulation on or before 31stMarch 20 21. It is opined only such a clarification by the CBDT will meet the ends of justice and dispel the ambiguity and avoid unnecessary dispute between the assessee and the department. Will the authorities concerned and associations involved in protecting the interest of the tax payers take early action well before 30th September?
Is it Sec. 54 TO 54GB as stated in your Article?
The Notification provides for Sec. 54 OR 54GB?
There is a lot of difference between 54 to 54GB and 54 or 54GB. I am looking if an extension to 30-09-2020 was given for 54EC too. If I follow your article: YES.
If I look at the relevant Notification: NO.

hi
is there any date extension for filing form 61A under section 285BA regarding notification 35/2020 dated 24 june 2020?
THE FIRST AND THE SEDOND CLAUSES OF THE ORDINANCE EXTENDING THE DATE TO 31 DECEMBER 2020 AND 31 MARCH 2021 HAVE BEEN VERY CLUMSILY DRAFTED. THEY ARE VAGUE AND FULL OF AMBIGUITY.AMBIGUITY HAS BEEN CREATED BECAUSE OF OVER ENTHUSIASM ON PART OF THE BUREAUCRATS IN USING MORE AND MORE COMPLICATED LEGAL LANGUAGE.
Has the validity date for form 15 H submission extended beyond June 30th? In Mumbai lockdown is in force. Cannot go to bank.
If the land has been sold in August 2019. Can i deposit money in Section 54EC bonds so as to get exemption from capital gain tax.
Whether SFT due date extended
