Capital Gain on Sale
Working out the tax impact when you sell property, shares, mutual funds, or other capital assets.
When a capital asset is sold, the difference between the sale consideration (net of transfer expenses) and the cost of acquisition (adjusted for indexation where applicable) determines the taxable gain. The treatment differs meaningfully by asset — sale of immovable property, listed securities, unlisted shares, and mutual fund units each follow their own rate and exemption rules, so the computation needs to be built around the specific asset sold.
What sale-transaction support involves
Every sale has its own documentation trail and valuation questions that need to be resolved before the gain can be finalised.
- Reviewing the sale deed, contract note, or redemption statement
- Verifying sale consideration against stamp duty value where relevant
- Computing transfer expenses eligible for deduction
- Applying indexation for eligible long-term assets
- Identifying exemption routes available on the specific sale
- Reconciling the transaction with Form 26AS/AIS reporting

Why sale transactions need close attention
What sets our approach apart.
Section 50C/43CA can override your sale price
If stamp duty value exceeds actual consideration, the higher value may be taxed unless within the safe-harbour margin.
TDS on property sales needs reconciliation
Buyer-deducted TDS under Section 194-IA must match your return to avoid refund delays.
Multiple asset types, multiple rules
A single sale year may involve property, shares and funds — each needs its own rate and exemption logic.
