Capital gains tax changes bring big relief for homeowners: 12.5% LTCG tax or 20% tax with indexation, which will reduce tax outgo?

Capital gains indexation new rule: The government has offered relief to property owners by allowing a choice between two options for long-term capital gains (LTCG) on the property — 20% LTCG tax with indexation or 12.5% LTCG tax without indexation. The Budget had proposed a lower LTCG tax without indexation benefits. However, taxpayers can now opt for the old LTCG tax with indexation or the new one with a lower rate that lowers their tax outgo. Calculate and understand which LTCG option helps you to save more tax.
