18 April 2026 1. Hope the holding would be more than 24 months; means gain will be LTCG. You have to arrive at LTCG after deducting indexed cost of acquisition. Deduct the cost of new HP (say 50L ) from the LTCG. Remaining if any, can be invested in Sec. 54EC capital bond to save 12.5% tax liability over the gain.
