Quick Summary
This discussion addresses the tax treatment for a salaried doctor who sold a car purchased in 2012 for Rs. 8 lac and sold in 2020 for Rs. 2.5 lac. The consensus is that a car is generally considered a personal asset, not a capital asset, and therefore, no capital gains tax is typically charged on its sale. This applies especially when the sale value is less than the purchase price.
