What is Sale of Property?

The sale of residential or commercial property in India triggers tax implications in the form of Capital Gains Tax. Whether you are selling land, a flat, or a building, you must:

• Calculate capital gains (Short-term or Long-term)

• Deduct or receive TDS as per Section 194-IA

• Report the transaction in your Income Tax Return

• Pay advance tax (if applicable)

• Plan exemptions under Sections like 54, 54EC, 54F

Failure to comply can result in penalties, notices, or loss of eligible tax benefits.
