The budget changed the LTCG on real estate by bringing it in line with other assets at 12.5% but removed the indexation benefit.

Let's analyse in numbers how the indexation removal will impact those selling real estate by taking multiple scenarios.

Assumptions:
Sale Year: 2024-25 [have used the cost index factor of 2023-24 as an approximation]
Purchase Price: ₹1,00,000

#budget #ltcg #realestate

Calculations for 2009-10 Purchase Year

So, in this case if your property has become 5x or more, you will be better off in the new tax structure. Else you are at a loss.

Rabindranath Tagore revered nature for its divine presence, power to inspire, and the lessons it offered. His words still resonate deeply with us.

A thread on beautiful lines on nature by the Nobel Laureate Gurudev

🍁 "The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures."

Nature for Tagore, was life itself, a divine rhythm connecting all living things.

🌞 "Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky."

Tagore's poetic perception turned every aspect of nature into a metaphor for life and emotions.
