Capital gains on property sale —

Budget 2024 changed LTCG rules. This calculator shows tax under both old (20% + indexation) and new (12.5%, no indexation) regimes for pre-July 23 2024 purchases — and picks the better one for you.

Section 54 & 54EC — exemption rules
Section 54 (Buy residential property):
Purchase within 1 year before or 2 years after sale, OR construct within 3 years. Max exemption = capital gain (not sale price). Only for LTCG on residential property.

Section 54EC (NHAI/REC Bonds):
Invest in NHAI or REC bonds within 6 months of sale. Max ₹50 lakh per year. Lock-in 5 years. Only for LTCG on land/building.

Section 54F (Other property):
If selling non-residential asset, invest ENTIRE net sale consideration (not just gain) in one residential property to claim full exemption.

This calculator is indicative. Capital gains computation in complex situations (inherited property, gifts, partial exemptions, multiple sales) requires a qualified CA. Budget 2024 allows properties purchased before July 23, 2024 to choose the more beneficial regime — this calculator shows both.
