Section 82 of Income Tax Act Offers Tax Exemption on Property Sale
From April 1, 2026, the Income Tax Act, 2025 applies, renumbering Section 54 as Section 82. Under Section 82, long-term capital gains from selling a residential property are exempt from tax if reinvested in another residential property in India. Chartered Accountant Suresh Surana explains this applies to individuals or HUFs earning LTCG from residential house property sales, helping taxpayers save on taxes by reinvesting gains.
