Quick Summary
When selling personal furniture, there are generally no capital gains tax implications. This is because furniture used for personal purposes is typically excluded from the definition of a 'capital asset' under tax law. Therefore, the sale of such items does not trigger a taxable event, unlike the sale of a property.

Sale of furniture does not trigger capital gain. Because the definition of "capital asset" excludes personal effects, i.e., movable property (including wearing apparel and furniture) held for personal use of assessee subject to certain exceptions

Hence there is no tax implication resulting from sale of furniture. But capital gain needs to be calculated on sale of flat as per the provisions of the Act

 

Yes mam, you are absolutely right. But there is a provision... if it used for personal purpose, then there will not capital gain tax on consideration of rs 5 lakh received which will be exempt.

plz consider this point.

Request you to mention the specific provision which you are referring to

There is no tax implication resulting from sale of furniture without any capping limit.
