Property sellers may get zero tax under Section 82 rules
In short
Property sellers may pay no tax if they meet the rules now listed under Section 82 of the Income Tax Act, 2025. The publisher summary says this applies for Tax Year 2026-2027, and that old Section 54 has been renumbered.
This matters for people selling property because tax claims will now use the new section number. The exact conditions are not spelled out in the available reporting.
