Capital Gain Bonds, also known as 54EC Bonds, are a type of financial instrument issued under Section 54EC of the Income Tax Act, 1961. These bonds offer a tax-saving option for individuals who have earned long-term capital gains from the sale of their real estate property, such as land or buildings. By reinvesting their profits in bonds within 6 months of the sale of their property, investors can save on capital gains tax.
Capital Gain Bonds help an investor to avoid huge capital gains taxes on the sale of real estate. These bonds allow an investment of up to Rs 50,00,000 every financial year, providing a secure and stable investment option. It is also important to note that the principal amount invested will help in tax savings, but the interest earned on these bonds is taxable.
