Strategic guidance on capital gains tax arising from property sales, share transactions, mutual funds, and other assets.
Capital gains tax is one of the most complex areas of Indian income tax law. The applicable rate, holding period, indexation benefit, and available exemptions vary significantly depending on the asset type. A wrong decision — selling too early, missing an exemption deadline, or failing to reinvest gains — can result in a substantial and avoidable tax liability.
