Quick Summary
Generally, profits from selling a personal car are not subject to income tax as they are not considered capital assets. However, there are exceptions, particularly for vintage cars that appreciate significantly in value over a short period. Additionally, Goods and Services Tax (GST) may be applicable to the profit made on the sale.

As per definition of Capital Asset definition personal movable asset is not covered. Hence gain on sale personal car is not taxable.
Gain or loss on sale of personal car is a capital receipt and hence no captital gain arises on it's not a capital asset for Tax purposes.

Yes, capital gains from sale of personal car are exempt but not for vintage cars that fetch a very high value in short time as per case law: Asstt. Cit vs Narendra I. Bhuva on 12 May, 2003 [2004 90 ITD 174 Mum] (Bombay HC)
