Effective April 1, 2026. Under the income tax return filing for 2026, the new tax regime will be automatically considered unless one chooses to opt out for the old tax regime, whereby most deductions will not be applicable anymore. Despite the reduced slabs for taxes under the new tax regime, taxpayers cannot avail themselves of most exemptions and deductions. However, some capital gains exemptions are still applicable to taxpayers who choose the old tax regime. These exemptions and deductions are useful for salaried individuals to minimize their capital gains tax.<\/p><div class=\"trade-content-3\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\" id=\"trade-3199549233\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/tradebrains.in\/money\/recommends\/scapia\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"scapia (1)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/scapia-1.jpg\" alt=\"scapia (1)\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/scapia-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/scapia-1-980x980.jpg 980w, https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/scapia-1-480x480.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\"  style=\"display: inline-block;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-understanding-capital-gains-tax\" style=\"font-size:22px\"><strong>Understanding Capital Gains Tax<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The sale of a capital asset, which includes real estate, shares, mutual funds, or debentures, at a price higher than its cost is referred to as capital gain. Based on the period for which the asset has been held, capital gain can be categorized into Short-Term Capital Gain (STCG) and Long-Term Capital Gain (LTCG).Under the revised tax regime, LTCG from listed equity shares and equity-oriented mutual funds is taxed at 12.5% on the gains amounting above Rs. 1.25 lakhs. For other forms of investments such as real estate and non-equity mutual funds, the rate of LTCG remains unchanged at 12.5%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"

important area which needs to be handled properly. In fact, for salaried individuals and those who make sales, capital gain deductions offer immense possibilities to save on taxes. The trick is that one must choose the old tax regime in case of huge capital gains and then invest as per the norms. Proper investment planning along with timely documentation and correct filing of ITR forms is necessary to avail of these facilities.It should also be noted that capital gain exemptions are applicable only in the case of the old tax regime. It would be wise to check out the tax position under both regimes before deciding each year.<\/p><div class=\"trade-content-2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\" id=\"trade-3695099594\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/tradebrains.in\/get\/voltmoney\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" aria-label=\"LAMF3 300_250 (1)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/LAMF3-300_250-1.png\" alt=\"\"  width=\"300\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Written by shrikara<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Synopsis: The aim of the article is to help the readers understand the various tax deductions to cut capital gains tax.
