| New Rule (12.5% flat) | Rs.30,00,000 | Rs.45,00,000 | Rs.5,62,500 |
Section 54 – Capital Gains Tax Bachane Ka Legal Tarika
| Section | Condition | Benefit | Lock-in |
|---|---|---|---|
| 54 | New residential property kharedo (1yr before ya 2yr after sale, ya 3yr construction) | Capital gains exempt (up to new property value) | 3 Years (nahi bech sakte) |
| 54EC | Specified bonds mein invest (NHAI, REC) within 6 months | Up to Rs.50 lakh exempt | 5 Years lock-in |
| 54F | Non-property asset sale ke proceeds se new house kharedo | Full exemption | 3 Years |
Capital Gains Account Scheme (CGAS)
Agar sale ke time naya ghar abhi nahi kharida lekin future mein khareedna hai toh capital gains amount CGAS account mein deposit karo (specified bank mein). 3 saal ke andar new property kharedo – warna tax lagega. ITR file karne se pehle CGAS mein deposit karna zaroori hai.

❓ Aksar Pooche Jaane Wale Sawaal (FAQ)
Q1. Property bechne ke kitne din mein tax dena padta hai?
Capital gains tax ITR file karte waqt pay karna hota hai. Lekin agar gain significant hai toh advance tax dena padta hai – next quarter mein. Agar buyer NRI hai toh buyer 12.5% TDS katega (Section 195). Capital Gains Account mein deposit deadline: ITR filing date se pehle. Return filing deadline: July 31 (individual) ya October 31 (audit case).
Q2. Inherited property bechne pe capital gains kaise calculate?
Inherited property mein original owner ka purchase price aur date consider hota hai – tumhara inheritance date nahi. Agar grandfather ne 1990 mein Rs.2 lakh mein kharidi aur tumne 2026 mein Rs.50 lakh mein bechi – gain = Rs.48 lakh. Improvement costs (renovation) add kar sakte ho purchase price mein agar documented hain. Gift/inheritance pe koi tax nahi lagta – sirf sale pe.
Q3. Do properties bech ke ek nayi khareed sakte hain Section 54 mein?
Haan – multiple properties bech ke ek nayi residential property kharid sakte ho. Capital gains dono sales ke combine karo aur nai property ki value se compare karo. Agar nai property value >= total capital gains toh poora exempt. Lekin ek baar mein sirf ek residential property kharid ke exemption claim kar sakte ho (2 nahi). Exception: Rs.2 crore tak gains ke liye 2 properties kharidne ka option tha – check latest rules.
Q4. Section 54EC bonds mein invest karna worth it hai?
Tax bachane ke liye haan. NHAI/REC bonds mein invest karo within 6 months of sale – Rs.50 lakh tak capital gains exempt. Bonds 5 saal lock-in, interest rate ~5-5.5% (taxable). Drawback: low returns vs equity (12%). Lekin 12.5% capital gains tax bachta hai – yeh guaranteed saving hai. Partial strategy: Rs.50 lakh 54EC mein, baaki Section 54 (new property) mein – maximum tax saving.
Q5. Joint property bechne pe capital gains kaise split hoga?
Ownership ratio ke hisaab se. 50-50 ownership toh capital gains bhi 50-50 split. Har co-owner separately tax pay karega apne share pe. Advantage: basic exemption limit alag dono ke liye – dono separately Section 54 claim kar sakte hain. Rs.90 lakh gain 50-50 split = Rs.45 lakh each – dono Section 54 pe Rs.45 lakh ki property khareed ke fully exempt ho sakte hain. Joint ownership tax planning mein powerful hai.
Conclusion – Becho Toh Tax Plan Karo
Property sale pe capital gains tax lakhs mein jaata hai – lekin Section 54, 54EC se legally bachaya ja sakta hai. Hamare calculator se exact liability calculate karo aur bechne se pehle tax planning karo – baad mein nahi! 💪
