Trying to use Capital Gains Scheme Account to cut LTCG tax on indexed gains from 20% to 12.5%? It won't work

LTCG tax on the sale of the house at 12.5%: If a taxpayer has sold the home on or before July 22, 2024, and put the money in a Capital Gains Scheme Account (CAGS), then they need to invest the money in a new residential house before the expiry of the deadline. Otherwise, the indexed long-term capital gains will be taxed at 20% instead of 12.5%.
