Quick Summary
If you sold a commercial property acquired in 2009, you are eligible for the indexation benefit on your Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG) tax. This benefit allows you to adjust your purchase price for inflation, thereby reducing your taxable gain. To utilise this, you should opt for the 20% LTCG rate with indexation, provided the property was acquired before July 23, 2024.

You'll be happy to know that the government has reinstated the indexation benefit on property sales.

According to the latest updates, taxpayers can now choose between a 12.5% LTCG rate without indexation and a 20% rate with indexation for properties acquired before July 23, 2024.

 Since you bought the commercial plot in 2009, you're eligible for the indexation benefit. This means you can adjust the purchase price of the plot to reflect inflation, which will help reduce your taxable capital gain. To take advantage of the indexation benefit, you'll need to opt for the 20% LTCG rate with indexation. This will allow you to adjust the purchase price and lower your tax liability. Keep in mind that the indexation benefit is available only for properties acquired before July 23, 2024.

So, in your case, you're eligible for this benefit.

Thank u very much Sir.
