Real Estate Gains Taxation Updated ๐ ๐น New Rules: โ Holding period fixed at 3 years for long-term gains. โ Tax-free reinvestment under Sec 54/54F now capped. โ Real estate held via LLPs or foreign structures will be taxed more strictly. ๐ Impact: โ Property flipping (short-term selling) will be taxed more. โ You canโt keep rolling gains into new properties to avoid taxes forever! ๐ Example: Before: You could sell a property, reinvest, and keep avoiding tax. Now: Thereโs a CAP on tax-free reinvestments!

Crypto & Foreign Investments Taxed More ๐๐ ๐น Crypto & Foreign Investment Changes: โ Crypto gains taxed at FLAT 30% (long-term or short-term). โ No offset against other losses. โ Higher tracking of offshore crypto holdings. โ Foreign capital gains face stricter taxation. ๐ Impact: โ Crypto traders & offshore investors need better tax strategies. ๐ Example: If an NRI sells Apple shares, India may now tax the capital gains!

Market-Linked Debentures (MLDs) Lose Tax Advantage ๐ ๐น Earlier: โ MLDs were taxed as LTCG (10%) after 1 year. ๐น Now (2025 onwards): โ MLDs will be taxed as Short-Term Capital Gains (STCG) at slab rates, regardless of holding period! โ No LTCG benefit on MLDs anymore. ๐ Impact: โ HNI investors using MLDs for tax efficiency will be hit hard. โ Direct bonds or corporate FDs might become better alternatives. ๐ Example: Before: If you invested โน10L in MLDs, after 1 year, LTCG tax was 10%. Now: You pay 30%+ if youโre in the highest tax slab!

โ Tax Residency Matters: India taxes only residents on global income. NRIs are taxed only on income earned or received in India. โ Source Rule: Apple shares are foreign assets, and the sale happens outside Indiaโso India has no tax claim. โ DTAA with the USA: Under the India-USA DTAA, capital gains from US-listed stocks are taxed only in the USA. Conclusion: If the NRI is not a tax resident of India and has no Indian income, India cannot tax the capital gain from selling Apple shares. Disclaimer: This isnโt tax advice. Consult a tax expert for specific cases.
