Meanwhile, ICICI Bank has launched the Capital Gains Account Scheme (CGAS), allowing customers to deposit uninvested long-term capital gains or sale proceeds from specified capital assets. The scheme enables taxpayers to claim tax exemptions for up to three years while earning interest on the deposited amount. This follows the Government’s approval of ICICI Bank as an authorised institution to manage CGAS deposits.

Effective January 1, 2026, the scheme is available to resident individuals and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs), with plans to extend it to non-individuals and NRIs shortly. The scheme is particularly beneficial for taxpayers who are unable to reinvest their long-term capital gains before the Income Tax Return (ITR) filing deadline. Customers can open a Capital Gains Account by visiting their nearest ICICI Bank branch, excluding rural locations, as per CGAS guidelines.

ICICI Bank is one of India’s leading private sector banks, offering a wide range of financial products and services to retail, SME, and corporate customers.
