Introduced in 1988, the Capital Gains Account Scheme by the Bank of India helps you defer capital gains tax. This scheme is beneficial if you've sold an asset and want to postpone paying tax on the profit (capital gains). You can deposit the proceeds from the sale into your Capital Gains Account. The scheme offers two account types: a regular savings account (without a cheque book) for easy access and a term deposit for potentially higher returns. Remember, this scheme is just one tool for tax planning, so consulting a tax advisor is recommended to see if it aligns with your situation.
Account A (Savings Bank): This functions like a regular savings account without a cheque book. It offers easy access to your deposited funds.
Account B (Term Deposit): This is a fixed deposit with two sub-options:
Cumulative: Interest earned is added to the principal amount periodically, leading to a higher overall return.
Non-cumulative: Interest earned is credited to a separate account and can be withdrawn periodically.
Authorized Branches: Non-rural branches only (semi-urban, urban, and metro) can open Capital Gains Accounts.
Account Opening: To open a Capital Gains Account, you'll need to submit the following documents:
Form A (in duplicate) - The account opening form specifically for this scheme.
Proof of Address - Valid document verifying your residence address.
PAN Card copy - Your Permanent Account Number identification card.
Photograph - Recent passport-sized photograph.
HUF Letter (if applicable) - Unstamped letter for Hindu Undivided Families (non-trading) accounts.
Interest Rates: The interest rate offered depends on the chosen account type:
Account A earns the prevailing interest rate for regular savings accounts.
Account B earns interest based on Bank of India's prevailing Term Deposit Rates for the chosen term and sub-option (cumulative or non-cumulative).
