According to Mukul Bagla, Chair of the Direct Tax Committee at PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI), the Finance Minister has rationalised the provisions of taxation of capital gain on the real estate sector in the Finance Bill 2024. However, the Bill has denied the benefit of indexation of the cost with respect to all transactions that take place after July 23, 2024.
The PHD Chamber has proposed to the Revenue Secretary that the old law may be retained or retained at least till March 31, 2025. They have also suggested giving an option to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to choose between the old regime where indexation was allowed and tax was to be paid at 20 per cent, and the new regime wherein there is no indexation loan, but the tax has to be paid at the rate of 12.5 per cent.
The Revenue Secretary has stated that the LTCG tax regime changes were driven by simplicity, fairness, and equity. The government is likely to address these concerns in the Finance Bill, which is expected to be taken up by the Finance Minister on Wednesday.
