One has to find out capital gains on sale of the plot of land . It seems the amount is in the designated account for more than three years . One has to study the scheme in which the amount was deposited . On the expiry of three years the assessee should have filed the return of income showing the capital gains tax . Once the tax is paid the Bank has to allow the amount to be with drawn . The aassessee can file the belated return , request for waiver of interest on payment of tax . The CBDT can condone the delay and can also waive the interest . In case the Bank is refusing the withdraw the amount in spite of paying tax . The assessee can file writ petition before High Court . Refer Rashesh Shrirish Sanjanwala v .ACIT (2022) 441 ITR 374 ( Guj)( HC). One has to study the facts , hence it may be desirable to approach the tax consultant with complete details .
