Selling a property? Here’s all you need to know about capital gains tax rules

Capital gains tax rules on Property changed from July 23, 2024. Long-term gains now face a 12.5% tax without indexation, a shift from the previous 20% with indexation. However, those who bought property before this date can choose the old or new system. Exemptions under Sections 54, 54F, and 54EC remain available.
