My Friend Purchased a land on 23.07.2014 for 8,25,000/-, he is selling this land now on 15.04.2026 for 12,50,000/-, How much tax will he have to pay? does he get any indexation benefit ? He files Income tax under New Regime.

Your friend should choose the Old Rule because it results in a Nil Tax liability.

  • Tax Payable: ₹0

  • Benefit: He can actually carry forward the calculated capital loss (approx. ₹73,437) to offset against any future Long-Term Capital Gains for up to 8 years, provided he files his ITR on time.

Ensure your friend keeps the sale deed and purchase deed handy, and consider any registration fees or brokerage paid during purchase/sale, as these can be added to the cost to further increase the loss/reduce gains.
