Quick Summary

This discussion centres on the applicable tax rate for a Section 54F disallowance on equity investments. The core question is whether the tax rate is determined by the original sale date of the asset or the date the exemption condition was broken. The user is seeking clarification on whether to apply the 10% or 12.50% tax rate, as their CA friends suggest 10% based on the original sale date being before July 23, 2024, while the condition was broken after this date.

25 August 2025 But where does it say this that it is the date the condition was broken and not the date of original transaction . It says if sale was before 23 july 2024, it is 10 %. My CA Friends are saying it should be 10 %.. How to substantiate this ???.
