My wife is a homemaker and doesn’t have any income. I’m making investments in her name separately, and I also do investments in my own name. Suppose we each have a long-term capital gain (LTCG) of ₹1.25 lakhs in a FY. Can we each claim an LTCG exemption of ₹1.25 lakhs, or do we need to combine our gains (totaling ₹2.5 lakhs) and only claim an exemption of ₹1.25 lakhs?

Quick Summary
You and your wife can each claim a separate LTCG exemption of ₹1.25 lakhs, since you both have individual investments and gains.
The LTCG exemption limit is applied individually to each taxpayer, regardless of their marital status or combined income.
This means that you and your wife can each claim the exemption, resulting in a total exemption of ₹2.5 lakhs.
To illustrate, suppose you have an LTCG of ₹1.25 lakhs from your investments, and your wife also has an LTCG of ₹1.25 lakhs from her separate investments.
In this case, you can both claim the LTCG exemption individually, resulting in a total exemption of ₹2.5 lakhs.
It's essential to maintain separate records and accounts for your individual investments to take advantage of the separate exemption limits.
