βShares, Mutual Funds, Property, Gold and Crypto Under the Income-tax Act 2025 β Rates, Exemptions, Loss Set-Off and Filing for Tax Year 2026-27β
The section numbers changed on 1 April 2026. The tax did not get simpler.
Section 54 is now Section 82. Section 112A is now Section 198. Indexation has gone for almost everything. Debt funds bought after April 2023 can never be long-term. Share buybacks flipped back to capital gains. And the Sovereign Gold Bond exemption you were counting on now only applies if you subscribed at original issue.
This is the 94-page, India-specific guide that tells you exactly what your gain costs, what you can claim, and by when.
Written for people who own the asset β not for people who audit it. Every rate, threshold, section number and date verified against public sources as at 22 August 2026, and updated to the Finance Act 2026.
