Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies whether an individual can still benefit from indexation under the old capital gains tax regime and claim exemption under Section 54 when selling a residential property. The consensus is yes, provided the proposed finance bill amendments are approved. This means you can calculate your capital gains using indexation and then reinvest to claim the Section 54 exemption, even if selling in late 2024.
