Hey @Desabandhu_Realtors

Deductions for ELSS and health insurance premiums are not applicable to special rate incomes such as long-term or short-term capital gains. As a result, you won’t be able to claim these deductions. Your entire long-term capital gains will be subject to taxation at the applicable rates. The tax rate depends on the date of sale. If you redeemed the funds on or before July 23, 2024, the gains will be taxed at 10%. If redeemed after July 23, 2024, the applicable rate is 12.5%. Additionally, you can claim an exemption of ₹1.25 lakhs on these gains, leaving the remaining ₹5.75 lakhs taxable.

You dint read the question properly, he does not have other source of income and only LTCG. So basic exemtion limit brackate will be applicable and remaining excess amount only will be taxed at 12.5%.

Team quicko dint consider you have only income from redemption. Basic exemption will be applicable first and then 1.25 lakh exemption and then remaining income will be taxable

If you have no other income apart from capital gains, you can utilize the unexhausted basic exemption limit against your capital gains. In this case, ₹1.25 lakhs will be deducted first, followed by the basic exemption limit of ₹3 lakhs. The remaining income will then be taxed at 12.5%. As a result, a total of ₹2.75 lakhs of long-term capital gains will be taxable.
