LTCG after 24 july 2024

Sir 

Can we deduct basic exemption limit from capital gain computed with indexation and without indexation to compute relief provided under 2nd proviso to section 112.

As per income tax portal, differential tax is calculated without considering basic exemption. Then tax calculated @ 12.5% and then deducted the differential tax. It cause heavy taxes to some assesessee having no other income .

Quick Summary
This discussion explores how to apply the basic exemption limit to Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG) calculated with and without indexation, specifically concerning relief under the second proviso to Section 112. It highlights a potential discrepancy in tax calculations, where the basic exemption limit seems to be ignored when calculating differential tax, leading to higher tax liabilities for individuals with no other income. Suggestions include checking the ITR utility and filing a grievance if the calculation deviates from the rules.

  1.  Yes. Eligible.
  2.  That may be glitch in the calculator. Check with ITR utility.

I have checked with ITR Excel utility which is also calculating differential tax without considering basic exemption. 

Tax is calculated after deducting basic exemption @ 12.5% then deducting differential tax to arrive net tax liabibility.

But for calculating differential tax, basic exemption is ignored.

File complaint under Grievances. if there is difference in calculations as per rules.
