Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common capital gains tax planning queries

What is the holding period for real estate to qualify as Long-Term? expand_more
For real estate (land or building), the holding period to qualify as a long-term capital asset is 24 months. If sold before 24 months, it is considered a short-term capital asset.
What is indexation benefit? expand_more
Indexation adjusts the purchase price of an asset for inflation over the holding period using the Cost Inflation Index (CII). This significantly reduces the taxable profit for long-term capital gains.
Can I claim exemption under both Section 54 and 54EC? expand_more
Yes, if you have sold a residential property, you can apportion the capital gains and claim exemption under Section 54 by buying a new house and under Section 54EC by investing in specified bonds, subject to the respective limits and conditions.
